AFIK Araldite is a non-filled epoxy. I've always taken that as the Brit
name for plain epoxy. OTOH JB also make a clear 5 min expoy as do
others. I grew up with a quart of (Shell at the tme) Epon828 in the
cupboard. Handy stuff. I once mixed an epoxy using tri-mellitc (sp??)
anhydride as a catalyst. Beautiful yellow color and good to 300-400 F.
That was about 60 years ago so spelling, etc is iffy.

My bet would be on Araldite or the equivalent of JB Weld.
I would roughen the aluminium surface, and try to give it an undercut
'key' of some sort. I would do the same with any plastic. I might even
put some fine copper wire around the package and leave flying ends so
that they too would provide some extra security if they are embedded
in the epoxy.
Thanks Marcus, thats two votes for JBW now. I'll get some fresh stuff and
give it a try.
