You need an aluminium flux and you can use solder.

Aluminium forms an oxide as soon as you clean it, that's why it; so durable. a stainless steel wire brush is needed to clean the surface.

Epoxy resin will work fine, JB Weld is ok, just make sure you go past where you think the crack ends as it will have weakened for a bit past the end of the crack.

Don;t use 'rapid' setting adhesives as they are usually weaker and softer when they set.

The pressure isn't very high so the repair should be fine.
