Re: A dumb question???????? nah this is a good question

Unless this is a new type of rod all you need is aluminum rod to weld
aluminum. The difficult part is to learn when the pieces are the
right temperature to weld. Aluminum dose not puddle like steel so if
you see a puddle it is too late the metal drips off. You would
defiantly need a regular torch set.

I live in Phoenix and have been riding my Bentech bike for over a
year. Now working on another bike for my wife.
