If JB weld is OK; how about alumalloy?

Is that glue or aluminum braze Al? Aluminum braze would work well too.
I am trying to think of something the average guy can do with out having
a tig welder.

I guess it would be called a low-temp braze.  You can do it with your
propane torch. Another builder who has used it says the material is harder
than aluminum.  I don't know it's corrosion resistance or mechanical
properties.

You can check it out at www.alumaloy.net

That should be plenty strong enough in this application.
