Back when I was working at one of the plant.........Southside did most of our fabrication welding. Yes, they are good......but there prices are a little higher than other places.

Tim.......I did not know J B weld is not good for repairing Al. I did patch a small hole in a 12' AL boat that I have. It is in a non-stress spot and has held up good for several years. I know about needing to be cleen.....I got the cracked area cleaned this evening. A neighbor is getting me a small grinder tomorrow so I can grind out the crack a little so it will be ready to weld. The original weld has a 3" long spot where the weld did not penetrate very much......causing it to fail.

Bruce......thanks for the PM.
