[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 417275, member: 15636"] In that case, I would use a gooped rivet to patch the aluminum. Where the wood would sit against it I would use a countersink or round burr to create a 'divot' to allow the rivet head/tail to bear up against the wood proper. The concept of an epoxy patch is good too, where there's a slight bevel on each side to create a mechanical bond to hold it in place. I would use West Systems G-Flex 650 for this, as it is flexible, vs any hard epoxy like JB Weld or Marine-tex. [/QUOTE]
