Kent White offers flux, lenses, videos, classes in (among other
things) gas welding of aluminum. His videos on repairing a
thoroughly thrashed Cobra front clip and a bashed in nose of an RSK
Spyder are inspirational and instructional -- I think. If you gotta
have just one, then the How to Gas Weld Aluminum is the one.
No financial connection. Just a happy customer.
