This looks interesting (melts at 720 degrees F) so not a super high temp fix, but quick and it looked fairly strong.
Here is their webpage Any thoughts, opinions, experiences? |

The Sears product is a "Self Fluxing Aluminum Rod " 1/8 " diameter and is made(repackaged?) by US Forge. I believe it was less than $10.00 for 12 or so rods.
Very little info on the package and none on how to use. Claims that the material can be used "to wearface aluminum" "good color match for aluminum" and "low working temperature." Also, "the flux is in the rod". Worked great for my application. Only problem is it flows vey freely when hot and I had trouble building up a thick section. Then again, I'm not the worlds greatest welder. Web research claims it isn't a solder and you need to crimp the end of partially used rods to save the flux. I'd use it again.
