Sealcor?

Question

I snagged a tube of something called AllState Sealcor brazing rod this week. 1/8" x 36 long..probably 50 pieces in the tube. I was in Reliable Tool this week and they had some tig filler rods out..various types..mostly aluminum and mild steel (3/16"...big) but there was 10lbs of 1/16" Silicon Bronze and this tube of Sealcor.

So I snagged em both for $10...

Whats the Sealcor for? Is this the Magic Wonder Braze stuff that they sell on TV, or is this actually something that one can use for doing Real Stuff?

I figured the sil-bronze was a bargain...this stuff was icing

Google says:- tubular flux cored bare electrode for joining some aluminum alloys.For the price for both I'd say you done good, even at scrap prices :-)Mark RandRTFM

Just looking at the MSDS, and the fact that its flux contains significant Fluoride and Boron.Be very careful not to overheat the stuff when using it, and be sure to wear a respirator mask.Otherwise $10 might be very expensive!

How about I "braze" outside with maybe a fan running?

I wonder if I can use TIG with this?

I have some and had very good luck with it using OA.  I tried it with TIG, both A/C and D/C and it was not fun nor purdy.But then I am pretty new at TIG.Glenn

Not a good idea to use flux core consumables with TIG.k

A guess, might be to low of a melting point for TIG.
