Ensure the aluminum surface is thoroughly cleaned with the provided stainless steel brush. Heat the aluminum to the correct temperature (380°C) before applying the Lumiweld rod.
Make sure you are properly abrading the surface under the coating with the abrader. Ensure you are allowing the weld to cool naturally.
Verify that the rod is coming into contact with the heated metal, not the flame directly. The aluminum needs to be at the correct temperature (380°C) to melt the rod.
Work quickly and apply the Lumiweld immediately after abrading the surface.
Practice on scrap aluminum pieces to get a feel for the process. Control the heat and the amount of Lumiweld applied.
