Default Aluminium glue

I need to secure a boss made from aluminium rod into a hole made in the
wall of an aluminium tube. Of course welding would be ideal - but there's
little load on it. And I'm not sure I can be bothered finding an aluminium
welder. Unless I could do it myself with my MIG. Which I'm not much good
with on steel. ;-)
Car body filler? Epoxy? Any special precautions?


Hi Dave,
I have never tried this, but a friend of mine had some success
with the following style of product. I thought of giving it a try just
to see how easy, or not, it would be. More like soldering/brazing than
welding.

Car body filler? Ugh!
