888 forum posts 36 photos	I couldn't quite find a Topic section with "I Forgot" as the title. I remember buying these years ago and I know they are for "Welding" but for the life of me I cannot remember the process. Was this the (is this?) the stuff sold by Machine Mart for Aluminium welding where you use a Stainless Brush to clean the area to be welded? The rods themselves are around 14" long and a quarter inch diameter. Sorry guys but I am starting to suffer amnesia I think! graham. Edited By Oompa Lumpa on 15/07/2014 20:28:31

168 forum posts 12 photos	Had some similar but 1inchx1/4inch rod - marked PURE-D - used by electrical engineers to “solder” underground cable joints. A case was clipped over the spliced wire joint and molten aluminium was poured in. Think the stamp means that it is “pure” Hope this helps

888 forum posts 36 photos	Ah Ha! I remember now. This was liberated from a job being conducted by that company beginning in B and ending in T. 'Twas a job in Newcastle and indeed, it is for melting into joint couplings. The rods are marked PURE-D as you can see in the photo. Thank you for jogging my memory. graham.
