You can go down the rabbit hole with this. But. More important than the specific epoxy is surface prep. Epoxy works best in shear with lots of surface area. Preferably you would want to strip the oxide layer of the aluminum. At the very least scuff it with 80 grit. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned and de-greased. Reference one
 West systems has a lot of how to for epoxy.
