The three most common methods for joining and repairing metal parts are:

• Welding
• Soldering
• Brazing

All these methods present problems when dealing with aluminium or zinc alloys. Conventional welding requires a very high temperature. 

On aluminium, this creates an oxide layer faster than the joint can be made. It can melt zinc alloy altogether. Special equipment is needed to prevent oxidation and great care is required to ensure the melting point of the alloy itself isn't reached. This is a real problem when thin sheets are involved. 

Durafix Easyweld requires only a low temperature and no flux or techniques to prevent oxidation. The rod takes care of this by itself. All you need is a hand-held torch

Easyweld welds are stronger than the parent metal when properly applied. 

The strength is the same if not stronger than helio-arc welding. When cooled the weld will be as strong as the same gauge steel.

Durafix Easyweld is completely safe to use. There is no lead or toxic fumes and it is environmentally safe. The rod requires no flux, so no chance of "splashing".

Please use common sense! 

As with all welding methods, care must be taken when using Durafix Easyweld in a confined space. Always wear safety glasses and gloves and keep out of reach of children. It is advisable to always have a fire extinguisher handy when welding.
