Default question: using epoxy with aluminum

John McCoy wrote:
I have an aluminum casting which has broken. Does anyone have any
experiences or recommendations on the likelyhood of success, glueing
it back together with epoxy? I have West System on hand, and can
fairly easily get other products (e.g. Aluminax). Any tips,
techniques, or pitfalls I should be aware of?

thanks,

John

I can't speak to glueing but, I have very good luck with various
aluminum parts being welded. Several of the pieces have been in service
for 5 years with no problems and the cost was about $25.00(US) each.
