An observation on what happened when I first started the kneading. Most importantly I wore gloves for the first kneading.
At first, the material was stiff and hard to work. But after a few twists and turns and mashing of the material it soften up some. I noticed that after about a minute of kneading the material started to heat up. Obviously a chemical reaction. After about four minutes the material started to stiffed again. This is when I inserted the material into the repair hole. The only issue I had was the material was sticking to the glove and it was hard to get a nice fill. So the key here was to allow the material to overflow a little. It was not fluid in any sense of the word. After a couple of hours of drying I filed it down to the form you see in the image.
I do have JBWeld but not in Aluminum form. These are the two-part epoxy sticks. I have not have a great amount of luck wtih the JBWeld. I purchased this Aluminum stick based on a video I saw of a guy working on his aluminum mast. Small repairs of drilled holes and such.
Again, this part is not load bearing. It only hold the cover for the remote, a Yamaha 704 single control.
Later I will let you know how the drilling and tapping worked out. Who knows, it might not work at all. Fingers crossed.
This stuff is cheap and I got it from Ebay. You might want to pick up a tube and play around with it.
