Ray.

you can, with the right flux, solder aluminium as well



In a previous life used to use Aluminium abrasion solder - used to join
conductors on Aluminium underground cables.
So yes you can solder aluminium.
The problem may be that the item could be an alloy .. and that might not
solder.



I keep on seeing at car shows, and now on FB etc, a sort of brazing rod
that seems to work on anything. All you need is a domestic gas torch.
