What's the melting point of pot metal?  I'm wondering if the Alumaloy or 
Alumaweld "welding"/brazing rod might not work on it.  It has a melting 
point of about 725F or somewhere near there.  I just used some today on an 
aluminum ladder for a friend.  It flows, it sticks, it's strong, it's 
expensive (about $40-$45/lb).
