Hi there smart people of Bunnings,
Any ideas how to fix this balcony door frame please? I assume it is some kind of aluminium corrosion (white/grey powder).
I live near the ocean so that explains it, but is there any chance to fix this so it would last another 2-3 years?
I understand I will need a replacement of a new frame which is 15k+ but would like to postpone this expense if possible.
I am considering to clean it the best as I can then fill it with some sort of epoxy and protect it somehow with some paint, tape.
I know this would be a temporary solution as I am sure this damage goes up further, not yet visible on outside 
Appreciate any advice.
cheers,
Roman
Hello @RomanL
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your questions about your aluminium door.
To temporarily support the post in place I suggest installing an angle bracket such as the Carinya 150 x 125 Zinc Plated Angle Bracket. However, I suggest getting a second opinion in regards to the replacement of the aluminium post only. Getting just the post replaced should reduce the repair cost significantly. In this instance, I don't think the post will be lasting much longer as the corrosion is quite severe. The sooner you can have it replaced the better.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
