I have tried this in a very small alu U profile (3x4mm), and it worked perfect. Info from the website: www.alutite.se Alutite is a new complete method for thermal joining of aluminum and its alloys to replace welding riveting glueing etc. Uses Joining of aluminum and aluminum alloys in all forms, including cast and zinc alloys. Alutite goes to "build with". Alutite can usefully post-produced with eg. drilling and Threading. Alutite can be reused. Alutite lead-and cadmium-free and can thereby requirements of joints in contact with food and drinking water. Alutite is eloxerbart. Anodizing and coloring must be removed before work.

Pictures from when i started to test rigging the ship. Some pictures are with the new sail channel. For the boom i milled a track in it. And some mail sail making And a picture of the great nature just 1km from our house. Børge

Pictures from making the channel for the main sail. Started with a wooden channel, but it was to tight for the sail when inlayrope was installed, so it cracked I then went for a aluminium profile, and that was working well. Had to find a way to connect the two lenghts i was using. Welding was out of the question, to small. Then i searched the net about soldering aluminium, and found a great solution for this purpose. Alutite is a alloy for heating with a open flame, and melts before the alu melts, works like soldering, and is strong www.alutite.se Børge
