Default Aluminium brazing/soldering, how easy?

There seem to be lots of people selling aluminium brazing rods nowadays
with claims that it's easy and as strong as welding.

One of the major suppliers is Durafix:-

Does anyone here have any experience of using this (or other similar,
but cheaper) aluminium brazing rods?

I'm interested in this too. I bought some a couple of years ago just to
play with. Not as easy as the videos suggest, in my experience, and I am
fairly experienced in soldering and silver soldering with a gas torch
for steel, copper alloys, and jewellery.

For things like crack sealing I'd look at epoxy first.
