The old MAPP gas burned a lot hotter than propane but the new MAP gas is only rated to be 130 degrees hotter than propane. The old MAPP gas has been unavailable for many years but people think it is the same as the old suff. Sadly, it's not. Thanks for the video.

i have map,torchs,flux an mig,and a decent stick welder,have never welded aluminum,after looking at 500 bucks for a ten by twelve inch rad , googled an found you and thx for being here an posting that you showed me the in's an outs i needed to know!

[@YoMattFizz]

You can get on thanks for making this video. I had to sift through so much garbage before I could find your video, it was simple to the point no frills and I was able to fix my radiator for 99 cents by going to O'Reilly's and picking up one of the sticks like you suggested

Awesome man thank you I just got a really nice snowmobile the studs scratched the front heat exchanger and ripped it open

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Could you explain the difference between soldering and brazing with Mapp Gas, and welding using MIG or TIG. Looks like you were brazing with what you were using. Thanks for showing us that it does work. Regarding the original JB Weld, a great product that takes at least a full day to cure (unless you can figure out how to speed up the process with heat without ruining the job), I used it back in the day to fill up corrosion holes in the mating surface of the aluminum head of a fifties-era 6-cylinder Mercedes sedan I rescued from the scrap yard, then sanded it smooth by hand, and re-installed the head with a new head gasket. I drove it for 8 years without any head problems, then bartered it away for furniture for a new house.

jb weld will work too. I know people make fun of using that stuff but it DOES work. Believe it or not, when I was tech at Honda, the manufacturer recommended using it to repair a crack in a block for a customer.

i jb welded a radiator that was leaking in my dakota and it held for over 10k in the -30 degree winters we had here. i sold it still holding

[@pl7868]

i had a crack in oilpan an used jb weld probably three times an after a few months it leaked each time maybe it's the hot oil or the gas in oil from blowby um stroked sbc but wouldn't hold so had to take the pan off an weld it dunno if coolant will cause it to react the same but my guess is it will over time,look on the brite side though you have a whole rad to figure out how to weld aluminum lol

Do you use a brazing rod or welding rod?

[@NemonicsRacing]

Just know, this video still comes in handy & is helping ppl. 02 GSXR 1000 rad is still 120 on eBay, saved me a lot of money and time

[@lonelyboii93]

Came here just for my k3 600 also

[@NemonicsRacing]

@@lonelyboii93 I bought a big torch tip with igniter on the handle from harbor freight along with the aluminum rods & then map gas from autozone. I thought I had it on the first attempt but I didn't. So 2nd time I put about a pea size amount around the pinhole leak n it's holding so far. It's an aluminum race radiator that I had polished when I bought it from sum1 on ebay so I didn't want to take an L on it. TIP: don't melt the rod onto the hole, it won't stick. But keep putting it in the flame so it stays hot so that when the aluminum is hot, the rod won't cool it down & it'll flow with minimal effort.

[@yamahaao]

2004 r6 same issue 😂

[@calebc6028]

thank you

[@robertmann1953]

Do you think this will work on a aluminum tank of the radiator on a Honda 1100 Shadow considering the pressure in the radiator? Do you use flux to help the aluminum suck into the hole much like lead solder?

Rockauto.com. Lol Good video man!

[@colorocko1]

i can't tell for one if the tube I'm working on is aluminum or brass. I think it's brass but when I scratch it looks bright like aluminum. Either way I'm using the Mapp gas and the tube gets hot quick, so hot it breaks off before I can get the alum rod to melt. Not sure what to do?

[@bobslawnserviceplowing282]

try LP not map gas. not as hot.

[@bobslawnserviceplowing282]

or try JB weld, let me no what happens.

[@prawny12009]

Probably poor quality rods Just tried some from eBay they would not melt unless held directly under the flame, at which point they balled up, oxidised and re solidified and would not melt again.

[@amana1480]

Thanks for this video... I think technically what you are doing is called soldering

[@fridthjofsimonsen8108]

Hey man! is there any way of doing the same job with soldering? (Aluminum radiator) I own an old ford and i´ve looked everywhere for a new one.

[@amana1480]

He is soldering in this video

[@wettosixecho]

just poked a hole in my radiator. Looking through oreilly now they have a firepower brand brazing rod at 99c. It doesnt have great reviews on amazon but some look like user error. Ill have to take a look at home depot, they have a benzomatic al3 aluminum rod for 4 dollars. Do you think the rod with the higher melting point will hold betteR?

[@bobslawnserviceplowing282]

not sure but i have had good luck with lower melting

[@wettosixecho]

Thanks for the reply. I bought another brand rod at home depot but it seemed that the channels in the radiator would start collapsing before the rod would. I went to harbor freight and picked up the alumi weld rods and those worked much better. However by that time i had 3 additional holes so i just ended up replacing the radiator. If i wouldve bought the alumiwelds to start i problably couldve patched it up. Kind of sucked but oh well, atleast i got some practice.

[@bobslawnserviceplowing282]

thanks for the info, wish you could of saved the money.

[@snivesz32]

yeah, he conveniently didn’t pressure test it. I’ve struggled with this on mine, did it about ten times and no luck, always a pinhole leak.

[@Ry77x]

Did you fix it or get a new radiator?

[@RobertoSantiagoRodriguez]

Thanks for a great video! I am curious if the weld blocks the flow of water in that flat tube or just reduces the flow. If it blocks the flow entirely, couldn't I just cut the flat tube and fold it on itself really tight? I understand just one flat tube out of commission will not affect the cooling performance of the radiator. Is good to have a plan B. Thanks again!

If you want it full proof fill the line. You have plenty left. Trying to just braze the surface is a fool’s errand.

[@user-kx1on7yh8t]

Can i get the list of the tools and materials you used

[@majcrash]

You blew right past the flux issue. What kind did you use, and where did you apply it?

[@ryanintopeka]

The rod has flux core. When it gets hot the flux in it helps it flow.

[@600miles]

The tools are free but you have to pay full value with a CCard and you can keep the tool for more like a month.

[@colorocko1]

I've also tried rosin core, acid core, silver bearing solder, all with no luck

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

colorocko1 The aluminum is a heat sink, and it requires maintaining a high enough temperature, like from Mapp gas (now called Mapp Pro because they changed the formula), while you're trying to get the silver solder or aluminum rod to flow. It also takes some luck to keep from ruining the radiator while learning how to fix it.

[@jimmymcjimmyvich9052]

Try shoving some cheese in. You will find something that works)))

[@csarebel8657]

Will this work for an AC condenser?

[@amana1480]

Yes it will work

[@wayne251975]

I know this is an old question but hopefully this will help someone else that will need it. Soldering is the process he is doing if the temp is 450° F or less. Brazing is this process @ roughly 650° F or more. This process can be done as welding with an aluminum rod but with Oxy - Acetylene torch. Normally this is to hot of a process for this thin of material. The biggest difference between all of these processes is temperature and the filler used. I believe Mapp gas is much more than 300° F difference as this guy was saying. The bigger difference than can be made there is the torch head used. Not between each gas compared to each other but with the same gas used vs different torch heads. I will say the bernzomatic T8400 is definitely worth the money spent. Don't buy cheap torch heads. You'll end up regretting it.
