[QUOTE="thill, post: 501905, member: 4972"] I've cleaned the pits and used JB weld with great success. Rustoleum makes a zinc rich primer for aluminum that works well, but the straight zinc chromate stuff is hard to beat, if you can easily find it. Lately, I've been using my MIG welder with 100% argon gas to weld aluminum, and it works well, obviously. Lots of YouTube videos on this. That's how I learned. But the former method works, just make sure to clean, prime and then paint the areas carefully, so water doesn't continue the corrosion process [/QUOTE]
