Default Aluminum Solder Paste

I purchased this product to fill a gouge in an anluminum mag wheel.

I can not get it to melt. I have tried a propane torch and a butane torch. It seems to start to melt and then does nothing. After it cools it just wipes off.

If I try it on an eighth inch thick aluminum bar it melts and beads to a ball. I thought it would flow.

Am I doing something wrong or just not enough heat from the butane (it is supposed to go the 3100').

Thanks
Terry
