[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 424783, member: 13599"] [b]yes, welding is always the best repair method for most aluminum issues.[/b] if welding is not an option, then, we use our best judgement as to the fix. I do not have a thread on my Lone Star as it is turning into a nightmare. (well, bad dream anyway). I just discovered that most - if not all - rivets are compromised by corrosion and the seams are popping open easier than splitting a watermelon. So I will be drilling out and replacing rivets for some time to come yet. ((I am talking about roughly 500-800 rivets)). so that is job #1 - then, I will get on to the new wood furniture and painting.
