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,

We usually suggest sanding then coating immediately with epoxy. Another
possibility would be sanding the aluminum then priming with a moisture
cured urethane prior to the epoxy.

If you have extra pieces of the aluminum you can send them to me and I
will try a few different approaches and send back to you for your "testing."
