Am making flowers. Used aluminum mesh and galvanized screws and nuts and


want to put to a rod of galvanized steel. Can I solder. I have used a


glue or have just used wire to hold in place. Am elderly and do not have


access to welding, so thought of soldering, these are decorative and are


put in pots outdoors. Oldnverygrey..

This might work.....

That's the "right stuff" I used the laco flux to solder Aluminum with different solders..
(Al 3003, 1100, 6061 and tin/lead solder, silver solder and a Tin/Zinc solder... all seemed to work just fine right flux.)
