Was able to get it from Dick Smiths years ago as many wires were no longer copper but only copper coloured - I'm presuming it is for wires and not for soldering plate [not tried it but light plate should be possible but I would question the strength of it - you need to talk to a counter jumper who is in the know.

Nurgle, I had some stuff years ago called Techni2000, which was brilliant.
Using only a gas flame you could fill holes in Coke cans. All the boaties swore by it. I purchased it from a show so it may be the same stuff.
Try googling Techni2000.
Edit: Just read Scooters link. Oh well, better late than never.

i successfully welded a rocker cover with some aluminium mig wire coiled up and mapp gas . i was worried about using those rods due to low melting points with a rocker cover. i assume a rocker cover wouldnt get past 300 degrees, but better to be safe than have a hole melted through your engine.
it was tough to get it up to temperature and to make sure the parent metal was welding to the child metal. best way to tell is to scratch the parent to see if it goes silver. also large portions of it can go sloppy and bend - like burnthrough with mig/arc welding but on a wider scale due to the temperature spreading fast.
id advise if your welding a large piece of aluminium to put it in the oven first to heat it all up due to how fast heat spreads in aluminium.
but those rods look pretty good. i would use them in a second with a crankcase or anything like that.
