[QUOTE="snt505, post: 1592908, member: 41974"] First, I'm sure you are very capable of fixing this yourself and better than the procedure, but felt I should mention a couple things. Al freely oxidizes in air which is significant to its corrosion resistance, so no matter how you start it will be oxidized. Water in an acid solution in a short period like this won't cause corrosion. Acid etching is very common in AL surface prep. And the aluminum to silicone adhesion definitely takes place on a "microscopic" level. Your surface prep will of course be beneficial as increasing surface will increase overall strength assuming you apply correctly. [/QUOTE]
