Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1 | ![]() |
Cleaning. Clean the area to be welded thoroughly, using the Stainless-Steel brush included in the Techno-Weld kit. |
|
Step 2 | ![]() |
Heating. Heat the area evenly, keeping the flame moving. Start heating back from the area to which you wish to apply the Techno-Weld rod. Move the flame away and touch the Techno-Weld rod to the surface where you wish to apply the material. As soon as the aluminum is at the proper temperature, the rod will melt. |
|
Step 3 | ![]() |
Coating. Coat the surfaces to be joined with a thin layer of Techno-Weld, in the same way you would "tin" a solder joint. The aluminum must be hot enough to allow the Techno-Weld rod to form a silvery trail on the metal. |
|
Step 4 | ![]() |
Abrading. A thin layer of oxide will have formed between the Techno-Weld and the surface of the aluminum. This needs to be broken, and is done by drawing the Stainless-Steel Abrader through the molten Techno-Weld. |
|
Step 5 | ![]() |
Joining. To join two pieces of aluminum, coat both pieces as outlined above, position them properlyand just evenly re-heat the aluminum surrounding the area until the Techno-Weld re-melts and the components "sweat" together. Draw the Abrader through the molten Techno-Weld to form a neat fillet. |

Step 7 | ![]() |
Building Up. Techno-Weld can be built up to replace/repair missing parts. Just follow steps 1-4 above, then heat the Techno-Weld rod in the flame until it melts onto the coated aluminum, gently working it in with the Abrader. |
