- How To FIX Aluminum BOAT Holes, for $5! Weld with Aluminum Brazing Rods! Cheap Leak Repair!
I started the $100 boat restoration or jon boat to bass conversion whichever you would like to call it. The first thing to tackle was a big leak in the hull of the boat. This leak has to be fixed and I didnt want to get out the welder and ive always been curious of Aluminum brazing and seeing what it can do. I made it a mission of mine to seal this leak hole up so I have no issues on this boat and I can continue to repair, modify, and restore this tiny boat.

I’m glad I used these brazing rods. Definitely the way to fix a leak
I've used Alumiweld in the past for similar projects. It is a very good alternative to machine welding and the product is even stronger than the surrounding aluminum metal. If you prep the area well there should be no issues. I've also used it on stripped out aluminum thread holes. Filled the hole, drilled it to size, tapped the thread, and it was stronger than the original. Great ptoduct.
Oh yes my buddy has used it and it worked great too. I like your ingenuity
I’m in the Process of restoring my 16ft Lowe, Brazing rods are the way to go without using a Welder. Great vid 💪
You got that right. So easy and they hold just like a welder. Thanks bud
does this also work for boats used in saltwater?
Are you planning on making a deck platform with storage underneath? Noticed you have plenty of plywood to make something awesome
Hey John, I sure am. I’m gonna make a floating deck with aluminum framing and plywood top.
Can u tell me more about the epoxy liner for the other side? Is that like added insurance? I took my reservoir boat out for the first time and it has.a leak coming from the side about the size of a pinhole.
The epic liner seals the bottom and is kind of a scratch prevention or skid too for the bottom. There are some epoxies for the inside of the boat as well that seal on the inside as well and keep the boat from leaking real bad after you fill the holes with the weld fill.
I should have finished watching the video.. 😂 thanks for the video.
Your welcome bud
Right on brother....
Thank ya Edward
does this also work for boats used in saltwater?
Yes it does. The salt water will have no effect and should seal it right up.
Very nice, yeah i dont think it's gonna leak 👏
Yeah I think that sealed it up. Thanks rodrigo
How did it hold up over time
It’s still holding I don’t see it leaking again
can you sand them smooth once it cools off?
Yeah you can
Can you do this under the boat or would it just drip down and not hold?
Depends if the boat is flipped over. If it’s upside down it would probably drop down but it’s worth a try.
excelent!!!
What kind of gas did you use for your torch?
That is a propane torch you can get in the plumbing section at a hardware store like Lowe’s or home depot
Buy the blue bottle,not the more expensive yellow.
Mapgas torch works better in my opinion, it heats up faster than the propane torch just makes for quicker easier repairs for me
I need to give that a try thanks cody
How is this holding up?
Awesome. It is definitely how I will fill holes in aluminum every time. So easy and cheap too
@@TBassFactory Just got back from Lowes buying these supplies! Thanks brother for your tip and giving me an update on how it has held🤙
Unfortunately, this is the wrong application process... You absolutely do not place the brazing rod within the heat scope. Heat the parent metal and scrape it with the rod. If the parent metal is temp'd correctly, the rod will melt. This is why the video showed clumping and balling; wrong way to use this.
Yep. That brazing fill is solid and hasn’t had any leaks. Thanks bud
@@TBassFactory Ultimately, THAT is what matters and the leak was fixed. Congratulations.
@@AXNJXN1 I've got a boat that has some cracks I want to repair. This brazing stuff is new to me. What's the best brazing rod to use? Flux core or fluxless ?
@@stephenmyers4319 'Brazing' rods are neither. 'Flux core' is a type of wire for fluxcore welding machines. This process is strictly brazing which is heating up CLEAN parent metal and melting into it a brazing rod (supplemental metal at a melting point) which is different than welding which uses fluxcore wire - for steel. This application pertains to aluminum which 'melts' two metals together at a much lower temperature than welding does - with steels. You can of course find an aluminum welder which can TIG weld aluminum but this video just demonstrates a quick process for patching 'aluminum' holes with supplemental 'aluminum' rods. Hope that helps.
