[TR] welding aluminum

[Geo Hahn]

Those rods do not really weld - perhaps could more accurately be described
as solder.  I used one to fill some non-stressed areas in an aluminum piece
but for connecting two pieces there is no real strength.  I think they are
a zinc-aluminum alloy that has a much lower melting point than either zinc
or aluminum.
