Odp: [sdiy] Aluminium Solder

[Roman]

I've seen something like that. It was at my favourite aluminium store.
They had some sort of special solder, looking like small aluminium
rods, and instruction said - 3 steps to success. Brush, heat, and solder.
As a heat source they recommended ordinary butane torch.
I haven't tried that tho...
