Aluminum boat repair is made easy with the Visit www.aluminumrepair.com to purchase HTS-2000... HTS-2000 second-generation brazing rod . Many people buy aluminum boats because aluminum is light, fast, flexible and seaworthy. As with any kind of boat, sometimes boat repair is necessary. Hull damage to an aluminum boat can occur from abrupt groundings, collision with other objects or just wear and tear over time.

Easy repairs that work!

Aluminum boat repair is much easier than boats made with steel or fiberglass hulls. Aluminum is light, strong, corrosion-resistant, non-sparking and can be fixed with an HTS-2000 brazing rod without a welding machine.

Pitting, cracks and crevice corrosion are three of the drawbacks of any aluminum boat over the long haul. Sometimes aluminum boats will develop small leaks and need repair. The HTS-2000 is a no-flux brazing rod and all that is needed besides the brazing rod is a heat source (propane or mapp gas), a turbo tip, or oxy-acetylene. Since the melting point is 500 degrees lower than the surface of an aluminum boat, many repairs can be made quickly and easily and even holes can be filled because of the rod’s anti-drip properties.

With many other products on the market aluminum brazing requires
tighter process parameters than most other brazing processes because of the closeness of the melting point of the braze filler metal and the base metal. Not so, however, with our HTS-2000 second-generation brazing rod, which has a melting point 500-degrees less than aluminum.

When brazing aluminum with our products, the affected area actually becomes stronger than the surrounding areas. You will never see a crack or break in the same place twice. Besides our industrial-strength aluminum brazing rod, all you will need is a heat source (propane or mapp gas), a turbo tip, or oxy-acetylene, and a free moment. No welding machine or furnace is necessary.
