This is some pretty nifty stuff. Just lay a bead around your work and you can heat one end red hot and hold the other end with you bare hand. I use it for welding tubing to places.

That IS a good tip. I only became aware of it last year, but this type of stuff has been around for quite awhile. Plumbers and AC guys use it for soldering and brazing near valves, and stuff. I wonder how it would work on controlling warpage on sheet metal, like a car body....anybody know?

Eastwood sells something like it for use are car bodies. Theirs comes in pint paint can and is a putty that can be reused.
