I too have had great success using these rods to repair the aluminum
parts of the motorcycles I restore. They come in two versions, one for
use with a propane torch, another for use with acetylene. A local
welding shop would be the best source these rods I think. You do need to
be careful not to melt the aluminum when you weld though.

I've seen a person at a Gun Show in Richmond deminstrating welding holes
in
aluminum cans. He was selling rods of course. Looked convincing to me,
but
have no use for this item. So I passed. Mark
