Default USING Aluminum Soldering Rods to join intercooler entanks to the core??

is it feasable to use these bensomatic aluminum soldering rods that u can buy at Home depot to solder/braze custom aluminum endtanks to an intercooler core?? i was thinking about doing this, but i just wanted some opinion on the subject b4 i actually do it and chop apart my existing intercoolers.. would the joints hold up to the pressures of boost, (in the neighborhood of 12 lbs).. i'm pretty sure it beats the JBweld route that was brought up on the board a few weeks ago..

Brazing is strong if done correctly... You'll need a torch.
