Yes, and on that thickness I wouldn't even bother trying. Those rods are smoky as hell and you damn near can not see the puddle because of that. On top of all that the rods melt down with a quickickness.
Without access to a spool gun or tig, the patch job is what I would go for with 5200 and large head aluminum pop rivets.
Brazing is going to require the areas to be really clean and fluxed to last. Also Aluminum has that funny way of not telling you how hot it is until it just melts at about 1221 F.
