I was trying to simply melt the rod onto my aluminum plate using a propane torch. I had to put so much heat, my plate was beginning to melt just as the rod was melting. I polished my plate and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. You can see in the photo the damage my plate took before the rod melted. You couldn't use this process on any large aluminum pieces because the entire plate had to get to temperature to melt the rod. The Aluminum plate keeps wicking the heat away until the entire plate is hot then it can melt the rod- by that time my plate began to melt. Don't know how to get the plate to the exact temp the rod melts without damaging the plate. Once it gets to melting temp I suppose you need to remove the torch then back on again the whole time holding the rod on the plate until it melts. Just doesnt melt at a low enough temp to flow onto the plate without damaging the plate. Bummer.

Spot the difference, I expected a plastic case for easy storage… just got a bundle of rods. Will return a purchase from Harbor Freight.
