Geofkaye,

Thanks for the tip on the Manus-Bond 76-AM. For the benefit of others, don't make the same mistake I did and look up the 76AMC, that is something entirely different. Also, for the benefit of others, here is what the web site says:

Manus-Bond 76AM exhibits excellent adhesion to many substrates including aluminum, brass, steel, glass, mortar, granite, marble, wood and many plastics. Cures fast, even at low temperatures. 76AM is highly weather resistant and can be painted with most paints. Contains no solvents or isocyanates and is non-yellowing. Authorized by the USDA.

here are some links:

It looks like Manus makes a lot of good stuff that we could use.

A separate issue is the wire cup brush. I assume the wires are steel and I was warned to keep steel away from aluminum. Specifically I was warned to never use steel wool to clean aluminum. This sounds like it would cause a similar corrosion problem.
