Blue Demon Triple Play
This very thin layer of aluminum oxide is what must be removed. When you puncture this layer it breaks up into a fine powder and floats to the surface of the puddle. You can actually see it appear on the surface. Draw the abrading tool through the puddle several times to remove oxides and promote fusion with the base metal. A few strokes are usually enough-.004 to .005 deep gives a maximum strength. Get rid of the oxides' barrier by going down through the molten coating and abrading the oxides away. A thin layer of insoluble oxide begins to form on the surface even before you lay the brush down.
As the base metal is heated, oxides form even more quickly but become stretched under tension. The oxide must be removed or penetration will not occur. Localizing of heat techniques can also be utilized to improve the shape of the fillets.
How to use Blue Demon Triple Play in 3 easy steps!!
- Clean the surface with a stainless steel brush
- Heat the base metal surface, not the 'Triple Play'
- Apply the 'Triple Play' to the heated surface
If you are joining two pieces of different sizes you will want to apply most of the heat to the larger piece so that they both arrive at the working temperature at about the same time. A short stub can be fused to a new rod with the torch flame if you control temperatures carefully. The repair will harden in a few seconds and can be worked immediately. Do not immerse in water to speed the cooling.
The material will be quite hard. It will grind, machine, drill, tap and paint much like a mild steel. Yet when fused with aluminum it is not brittle unless it is cooled too quickly. For most jobs, an LP gas torch is enough. Make sure to reach 730⁰F. Use the general purpose tip. For heavy pieces you will need a fuel-oxygen torch. If so, use a large tip with a neutral flame to spread the heat evenly. Only heat with the middle or outer cones of the flame.

Practice on a few joints before doing your finish work. Everything will seem very awkward at first as you juggle the torch, the brush, the rod, and the correct heat. Within about 5 to 10 joints you will feel like a professional. If you cut corners though and don't get the work hot enough or don't frequently keep your joint clean of the oxides with the brush your brazes will look pretty but won't hold and your time will be wasted. Good luck!
Here are a few tips:
Flux is unnecessary, but If the surface is dull or dirty, brush clean with a STAINLESS STEEL wire brush. Regular wire brushes won't work.
Prepare each surface by "tinning," which means to melt a thin coating of brazing alloy on the surfaces PRIOR to actual brazing. This is critical for a good strong joint.
A regular propane torch is sufficiently hot, but a broader flame works better than a pencil-tip flame.
Always heat the metal & let the metal melt the brazing rod. Don't melt the brazing rod with the flame itself.
The trick is to keep the temperature around 750 F. Too hot and the metal can scorch & warp. Too cool & the brazing rod will not melt or bond.
Use clamps to hold surfaces together. This alloy material will fill small gaps, but it works best if the gaps are tight.
Don't be in a hurry. Practice on scraps first.
Description says about 22 rods I got about 12.

Piece to be repaired MUST be clean.
You MSUT heat the piece not the rods.
Heat the piece and every few seconds test if the rod will melt when rubbed on the piece WITHOUT heat being applied.
When used correctly these really work great. Picture is an aluminum piece heated with a regular home propane torch and you can see that the rod melted really nicely and flowed really well and fused to the piece well. The key is to heat the piece you are trying to repair until the rod melts when it is rubbed on the hot piece. If you do that the rod will flow nicely and fuse well to the piece.
If you just heat the rod and "drip" it onto the piece it will not work at all.
For reference, I am an experienced arc, gas and TIG welder and I find there are many things that these will repair that you simply cannot repair with other welding processes. These work great for smaller piece you can heat properly with a propane torch and work especially well on thin metals rather than large castings that you will never get hot enough to melt the rod. I have repaired aluminum boat parts and even an auto air conditioning condenser using these rods.
