That may work well, Dale. But, I have stacks or aluminum brazing rods that I could never get them to do more than sizzle around like a drop of water in a hot skillet {:>). The HTS-2000 was the first one I had any success with and did not require special prep of the work area. I realize that other folks must have had success with the other brands, but I did not. I mean enough folks must have continued to buy the products to keep them in business - but the HTS-2000 just flowed great and just a brief scrub with a stainless steel brush was enough to get adherence. I use it to braze my aluminum intake manifold (since I don't weld) and am still flying with it and no problems thus far.

I believe you can get the low temp braze stuff from aircraft spruce now.

Take some soft aluminum rod of the size you want for a bead. Bend it around the tube and cut it to a length where the ends of the rod meet around the tube. Position the rod ring near the end of tube and clamp it in place. Then use some of the HTS- 2000 aluminum brazing rod (other stuff may work, but this is the only rod I've ever had any luck with) and a propane torch to braze the rod on the tube. A bit of touch up with a fine file or sand paper and you have your bead. A bit of work, but not that hard and if you don't have access to a beading machine one way to get the job done.

How do you put a bead on the ends of aluminum tubing so the hose will not slip off??? My tubing is inch and a quarter and probably 0.060 thick. Suggestions appreciated.
