I swung by the local welding supply store after work yesterday night. I asked if they had any aluminum brazing rod and mentioned the few names it goes by (durafix, hts2000, aladdin 3-1) and he knew exactly what I was talking about. We walked over and grabbed a 1lb tube of it. The cost was significantly lower than any online source I was able to find. Online the lowest price I could find was about $40 per pound. This was $25. I'm not sure how much I'll need for the project, but 1 lb will be way more than enough and should last me quite a while.
