Called Durafix it's basically a flux free rod that will weld (more like braze) aluminium. You can do it with a standard propane/butane blow lamp as it only needs to be heated to about 370° plus it finishes up being almost the same colour so it can be used on finish items.
No need for expensive Ali welding equipment and also being low temp reduces the risk of distortion, it can be used on thick or thin Ali.
It seems to have endless uses, leaking hull seams, prop repair, thousands of broken cast pieces on outboards throughout the club and could probably even repair exhaust manifolds etc.
It seems strong too, don't think I'd go making a prop strut with it but for repairs it's

Anyway that's enough praise, here's a YouTube clip, and it does work that well

I got 5 rods plus the stainless brush for about £18 on ebay
I'll post some pics tomorrow of my repaired wheel
