Cant find any Gel flux for AL brazing
Posted: Sat May 15, 2021 1:04 am
Just as the title says, I have not been able to find any "GEL" type flux. Everything seems to be powder types. Powders seem ok if the work-piece is flat, but not for vertical work? I can mix them with water but they still dont adhere well to the work surface, if at all.
Can I mix the powder type flux with something to thicken it and still stay within the temp needed for brazing, which seems to be 700F, but I also see some references to temps as high as 1143F. Wiki says Al melts @ 1200F Perhaps it just depends on what your doing. But either way, I still need a gel ?
Thank you for your time.
