I was looking for a way to weld aluminum charge pipes w/o tig and I found this product.

Re: Dura Fix
A had some form a company called Alumaloy, Harbor Freight also has it and it is cheaper there. It will work.kinda. But don't think you are going to get it to melt and stick to anything with a propane torch, I did get it to semi stick using a small map gas setup. But it the part has any size to it you are going to need a full on torch setup to get it to work.
I ended up giving mine away. lol Tried to sell it on here for a few bucks but nobody wanted it. lol

Re: Dura Fix
I thought the video was very impressive and the process definately seems easy enough. I would love to try it first hand just see how well it actually works. The speed at which you can unify two metals is just amazing. However the one downfall i noticed was it appeared to leave a lot of small pourous cracks that could potentially leak and expand. Being that all the aluminum we weld is for water or air to pass through, the importance of a complete seal is just as important as the strength of holding the two pieces of metal together. Also, im just curious what the inside of the hole or crack you are sealing looks like after using that.
