Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

roughly...Aluminium is a very reactive metal, but in air it almost immediately forms a protective layer of aluminium oxide so it appears very stable. Sodium hydroxide, found in Mr Muscle, destroys this oxide layer, leaving the reactive metal exposed to form more oxide, and repeat the cycle... resulting in your aluminium disappearing pretty quickly.
