Please open the end with the yellow sticker with red lettering that reads “open this end for flux.”
We place each flux in a bubble wrap envelope and secure it tightly so it will not move during shipment.
No. We do not ship free samples or sell single welding rods.
Our rods and fluxes are chemically synergistic, so they will only work together, and we do not recommend using our rods or fluxes with other products.
Muggy Weld sells rods to DIY. We do not make weld parts for customers.
We specialize in the use of our Super Alloy line and are unable to answer questions related to other welding rods.
Grinding wheels or sanding disks for the arc rods. Sanding disks, Dremel tool, sand paper, light grinding wheels etc for the brazing and soldering rods. If working on pot metal or white metal it doesn’t take much to gouge the parent metal so sanding disks or lighter tools are recommended.
Super Alloy 1 works well with propane or MAPP gas. Oxyacetylene can be used but turn the oxygen down to avoid overheating the rod. Super Alloy 5 works well with oxyacetylene, propane, and MAPP gas. SSF-6 works well with oxyacetylene, propane, and MAPP gas. SSQ-6 works well with oxyacetylene, propane, and MAPP gas.
Note: Always use oxyacetylene on large masses of aluminum, thick aluminum, or cast aluminum.
20 Oxygen, 5 Acetylene is good for brazing or soldering.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP CHOOSING USPS PRIORITY MAIL. THEIR APP GENERATES DELIVERY ESTIMATES, NOT MUGGY WELD.
Priority Mail is not a guaranteed service and if you need your package to arrive by a certain date, your best bet is to choose UPS expedited. While most Priority packages arrive within 5 or 6 days, some have taken 3 weeks to a month.
If your package is 15 or more days late, PLEASE DO NOT CALL OUR ORDER LINE TO INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR PACKAGE, please contact USPS first and then email us so we can file a claim on your behalf. We cannot file a claim at USPS until 15 days have passed–USPS considers 15 days “on time”. Once we’ve filed a claim, we will wait for USPS to investigate and locate the package. This process may take up to 30 days, and we cannot refund or reship packages until 30 days from the date of original shipment to allow USPS ample time to locate and deliver the original package.
Please be aware, Muggy Weld employees do not personally deliver your packages. We, like our customers, have no access to UPS or USPS internal information. Muggy Weld is not financially responsible for delays caused by UPS or USPS.
We aim to ship all orders within 72 hours of order placement, however, we do occasionally experience delays. UPS ground and USPS Priority orders are not guaranteed to ship the same day, expedited orders placed by 12 pm PST are guaranteed to ship the same day.
Please allow up to 10 business days for your package to arrive. UPS and USPS shipments are estimated 2-6 business days, depending on the priority level, but not guaranteed. If you need your delivery guaranteed sooner than 10 business days, please choose USPS Express Priority, UPS Next Day Air or 2nd day air as your shipping option.
Note: Muggy Weld is not financially responsible for delays caused by UPS or USPS–delays do happen, especially during the holiday season, and we cannot reship or refund orders due to shipping delays (we will refund UPS shipping costs if shipping is refunded by UPS). Please contact USPS or UPS directly with complaints about their service.
Please use your tracking number to track your package at UPS.com or USPS.com. While both companies estimate standard delivery times, they are not guaranteed times.

Import duties, taxes, and brokerage charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. Buyer is responsible for all tariffs or fees incurred. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.
Due to high shipping and brokerage fees, International shipments are not eligible for refund/return (this includes packages in which the buyer refuses to pay the import duties/taxes and/or brokerage fees) UPS charges between $100-$300 return shipping, so if you refuse your package for any reason, it will be treated as abandoned at your country’s customs office, and will not be eligible for refund.
We absolutely do not offer shipping refunds due to UPS or USPS shipping delays. If you require a guaranteed delivery date, please pay for UPS guaranteed service (I believe the only guarantee at this point is next day air)
We ship to every country on Earth.

No, our Super Alloy 5 is designed for use on cast aluminum.
Yes, Super Alloy 1 plates beautifully.
Yes
No, just turn the oxygen way down and use a carbeurizing flame or long feather.
You are overheating the flux. The flux acts as a temperature guide, so if it turns black, wash it off and reapply, being careful to evenly heat the base metal gently.
After welding, warm water and a wire brush will remove any remaining flux.
Yes, you have to back off the heat and build with a low flame until you reach the desired coverage.
For Super Alloy 1, you can either sandblast, use a wire brush, or use a grinder to “v” out cracks.
No. We demonstrate our rods in practical applications such as radiator repair, and we always allow observers to try it before they buy it when we are demonstrating our products in person.
Super Alloy 1 is a solder (20,000 psi), Super Alloy 5 is a weld (30,000 psi). Both work on aluminum, but the Super Alloy 1 can join dissimilar metals as well.
Size 2 or 3.
Yes
Concentrate the heat on the thick part, as the heat will transfer easily to the thinner aluminum. Note: Always use oxyacetylene on large masses of aluminum or thick aluminum.
No. It can be used, however it is messy. You don’t need to heat the rod to apply the flux, as it is already in a liquid state. When you apply the flux to the metal it will be pasty, then turn powdery, then turn back into a liquid. Its performance or strength is not affected whatsoever.
After welding, warm water and a wire brush will remove any remaining flux.
The base metal is too cold, you need to back the rod up and heat the base metal in a broad fashion. Large masses of aluminum dissipate heat quickly. Always use oxyacetylene on large masses of aluminum, thick aluminum, or cast aluminum.
You must add flux every time you add rod, as the flux burns away while you’re working on thick aluminum.
No, only Super Alloy 1 can be used with a soldering iron.
It is not necessary to prepare the base metal for Super Alloy 5.
No. We demonstrate our rods in practical applications such as radiator repair, and we always allow observers to try it before they buy it when we are demonstrating our products in person.
Super Alloy 1 is a solder (20,000 psi), Super Alloy 5 is a weld (30,000 psi). Both work on aluminum, but the Super Alloy 1 can join dissimilar metals as well.
You can build incrementally but the SSF-6 is the rod of choice for building up sections.
You can utilize the product both ways, but it’s most effective when applied to cold metal.
SSQ-6 is a braze and needs a hot torch to reach the working temperature quickly, therefore, butane is not advised unless the work is very small. Propane can be used with a trigger start or push button start tip if the metal is 1/8″ or under.
SSQ-6 can be used in areas the SSF-6 cannot reach, such as male – female joints.
SSQ-6, being in paste form, is great for sandwiching between to metals or when the solder needs to be hidden for aesthetic purposes.
SSQ-6 can be applied in micro situations as well as delicate metal works.
We can special order up to 4 ounces per syringe with a 2 week lead time.
Every job is unique, so we aren’t able to provide an accurate answer. Some applications require a bevel or buildup etc
Our SSF-6 Silver Solder is 56% silver.
You can use a Dremel tool, steel wool, a sander, or a wire wheel.
No, only our Super Alloy 1 can be used with a soldering iron.
The base metal is too cold, you need to back the rod up and heat the base metal in a broad fashion.
Our SSF-6 silver solder is your answer. It is very high strength with no porosity and it works great on tight fits.
On thin metal or small parts, propane or MAPP Gas works fine. Use an oxy-acetylene with heavy gauge metals.
After welding, warm water and a wire brush will remove any remaining flux.
Yes

Yes, it can be reused indefinitely.
Yes, it will mold to almost any surface in any position.
Since it is an all-natural paste, simply add a little water to refresh. Reuse over and over.
Preheating is not necessary, however, gently heating the part with a torch will lay the rod flatter when you first start your bead and will remove moisture out of the cast to prevent pinholes.
To avoid weld failure, all existing welding alloys must be removed prior to applying 72 or 77 electrodes.
You need to turn down the amperage.
You need to turn up the amperage.
It depends on the depth and width of the bevel. On a flat surface you can average about 9 to 10 inches.
Our 72 rod was designed just for this problem. 72 anchors into even burnt cast iron, so you can use it as a base and then finish with 77 for machinability.
Find a welding shop in your area and ask if they can repair cast iron. If not, ask them if they will weld it if you bring in the electrode. Most welders will say yes & end up buying the rest of your rods once they try our 72 & 77.
As long as you can get to the weld area and have room to work, 77 works well in all positions.
Our philosophy is if you have the right tool then fix it. There is alot of time and expense involved in changing engines as compared to a few minutes and a few dollars to repair it.
Aluminum boats are large masses of metal and aluminum dissipates heat quickly. Super Alloy 5’s working temperature is 600° F, so the parent metal must reach 600° F and stay at 600° F to enable to alloy to flow and bond.
If you do not use an oxyacetylene, you will not maintain a 600° F working temperature and the rod will ball up and not flow.
Thick aluminum is 1/8 inch or thicker. Please watch the instructional videos for guidelines, as they give a good idea on the limitations of the Super Alloy 1 in aluminum applications.
Super Alloy 5 is used in many restaurant applications. Super Alloy 1 contains cadmium and is not considered food safe.
Super Alloy 5 is manufactured for use in all positions, including overhead. Super Alloy 1 *can* be successful overhead, by brushing the flux into place and applying the solder in a “rubbing” technique once the base aluminum has reached the proper working temperature.
We recommend cleaning the parent aluminum prior to applying any solder. For aluminum tubing in HVAC applications, we recommend using acetone after mechanically cleaning the part.
Super Alloy 5 is best for salt water applications.
Yes, always make sure the powder coating is applied at 400°F when coating Super Alloy 1
If the tubing is 3/4 inch thick, use Super Alloy 5 3/32 and an oxyacetylene torch with very little oxygen and slowly add more oxygen if needed. For aluminum tubing thinner than 3/4 inch, use MAPP gas or propane with a push button start tip–with either Super Alloy 5 or Super Alloy 1
An oxyacetylene torch with a size 2 tip on a 1/4 inch thick cast, thicker cast will require a larger tip size.
Pot metal is generally heavier than aluminum. If the part is light it is most likely aluminum.
No. We demonstrate our rods in practical applications such as radiator repair, and we always allow observers to try it before they buy it when we are demonstrating our products in person.
Concentrate the heat on the thick part, as the heat will transfer easily to the thinner aluminum.
We recommend a size 1 or 2 tip with thin aluminum, and a size 3 or 4 with cast aluminum or thick aluminum.
Super Alloy 5 is recommended for 80% of all aluminum repairs. Super Alloy 1 works well on very thin or small aluminum parts or pieces.
Super Alloy 1 adheres to pot metal quickly if the temperature is correct. If the parent metal is clean, and you’re working at the proper temperature, check to make sure the part is actually pot metal. Sometimes, people mistake cast aluminum for pot metal. Super Alloy 1 will not adhere to cast aluminum.
Always be sure to clean the part within an hour of soldering with Super Alloy 1, as pot metal can oxidize in a couple hours, inhibiting Super Alloy 1’s ability to bond to the parent metal.
Yes, Super Alloy 1 works best on bare pot metal.
Yes–the solder will not melt out if the powder coating is applied at 400°F
The part will usually be as strong or stronger than the original part.
Yes, tell the plater to use a slow charge when applying the first acid copper plate
Take the pot metal to a plating shop and ask them to remove the chrome plating
Most pot metal structures melt around 750°F
Yes, Super Alloy 1 joins copper, steel, aluminum, brass, stainless, bronze and zinc coated metal to pot metal.
Absolutely. See our video page for a demonstration.
Pot metal is generally heavier than aluminum. If the part is light it is most likely aluminum.
