I've used it with good results too, but like Farmer states "you have to use the stainless steel brush". This is to avoid contaminating the base metal (the part to be repaired). Also, use a clean or new brush for best results. If the brush has gunk or rust or whatever from the last thing cleaned, the "Alumalloy" won't stick. As I recall, "Alumalloy" is a type of solder, and is subject to all the problems you'd encounter trying to solder dirty parts... Have you thought of using some of the regular aluminum arc welding rods (regular stick, NOT Tig or Mig)?
