Electrolysis...... Put a patch ontop, fasten with ss screws or rivits and 5200. or....

Put rivets in the larger holes and use Gluvit. A few coats will do better than 5200.

Ayuh,...........

5200 is Great when it's used Between things,..... As a Gasket Material,.......
It's Not a good Coating.........

I'd use Gluvit for what you propose.......

this gluvit ?from what i read it's best for seeping into rot areas like git rot a product ive used before,but tell me someone thats used it on aluminum does it cling to surface or will it weep away before it sets up?plus it's below 70 degrees now .
