You can try it but I have my doubts on it working. The JB weld when it sets up will be a different density than the aluminum and one will drill easier than the other. So if you try to drill between the two one will push the drill bit to the other. The only way it may work is to make a jig with the holes in it that you want and clamp it in place to force the the drill bit to dill where you want it. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
