How Do You Use Epoxy For Aluminum Repair?
Creating a permanent repair on damaged aluminum generally requires welding. Welding aluminum is a task best left to the professionals. If you do know how to weld aluminum, the equipment is expensive to rent and not cost-effective for small repairs. Repairing aluminum with epoxy is cost-effective and easy. You need to use an epoxy that is aluminum-based to ensure that it bonds correctly to the surface of the aluminum. Step 1 Wipe down the surface of the aluminum to ensure that it is dry and then spray the surface of the aluminum with the degreasing cleaning solution. Step 2 Wipe the degreasing agent from the surface of the damaged aluminum with a clean rag. Inspect the surface of the aluminum to ensure that it is clean. Repeat steps one and two if you notice that the aluminum is not clean. Step 3 Scuff the surface of the aluminum with the 60-grit sandpaper to create a good bonding surface for the aluminum epoxy. Step 4 Wipe down the scuffed area with a clean rag to remove metal shavings
