I saw this on late night TV the other day.  Has anyone ever used it or even heard of it?  I don't have any welding or brazing abilities/capabilities, and it looked interesting; rebuild/'weld' aluminum with only a propane torch.

Here is a link to a UK SOHC site with a good artilce from a guy who has used it.  http://www.honda-sohc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=113

I use a similar product http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=9220
These products are not for the beginner but with some excercise you can make pretty decent welds with it. Mig and Tig welds are much stronger.

Try to take some lessons on brasing and welding if you can.
I did 3 years of nightschool(Mig and Tig welding, I have certificates) and I can tell you it helps.

Used that to. The frost stuff is better as it does not require poking a stainless steel rod in liquid aluminium.
