FWIW, you can get aluminum sail track. I've got miles (or so it
seems) of black anodized AL Harken track on my boat. IMO, _the_
"right" way to attach anything to an AL mast is to drill and tap the
mast for ss fasteners and then isolate _all_ of the parts with Durlac
(or similar). BTW, I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me to
a source for Durlac here in the States. It seems silly to ship a tube
up for New Zealand.

Merry Christmas!

It isn't the same stuff but I have used 3M 5200 to insulate
aluminum-stainless joints with success on masts and spars.


Aaaaaaaak! Never use 5200 on anything that you may later want to take
apart.

You know? I've been reading this on this news group for years and for
all that time, and longer, I've been using 3M 5200 to bed things on
boats and never once have I had any problems in removing the item when
I wanted to.

I agree it is a pretty good adhesive but certainly not impossible, or
even very difficult. to remove items attached with it.
