Alexiskai - silly question, I know, but have you considered having the divot filled with weld material, then having the mating surface decked? A good machine shop should be able to do both in-house. With aluminum decking is a good practice against leaks anyhow. True, it will be more expensive than filling with something, but that way you'll know it's done right and is permanent.
