Hi,

I'm ready to fasten my 1 3/8" aluminum inserts into the aluminum 1 1/2" outer sections to make a take apart mast similar to the Balogh masts. The outside part of the mast should be free of rivits or obstructions as I am using Sunfish sail slide rings that have very little clearance. I think someone told me that Balogh epoxied the insert into the mast but that the aluminum must be sanded and quickly epoxied before oxidation took place. Any ideas about this or has anyone epoxied aluminum?

John
