aluminum bucket repair

[tbear]

I've got 4 aluminum buckets with small pin holes in them. Can they be repaired and if so how?

you could try food grade RTV cement or caulking It's not easy to find however

But I think the most common method is a couple of stainless steel washers with a bolt between them and O-rings.

Thanks Brent. I think I'll go with the food grade sealant. I can order a couple of small tubes (keep one on hand) as the holes are really only the size of a pin prick.

T bear You can buy aluma weld rods at Harbor Freight. The are fairly easy to use and a package is roughly $14.00. Good luck Lee

Someone else mentioned they were going to try wax and see how that worked.
