[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 360956, member: 13702"] Both are epoxy products - Gulvit is designed for aluminum boats so it will be more flexible once cured. JB weld is tough as nails, but by being so rigid it will over time pull free of the aluminum as the aluminum flexes. As far as which side to apply it - it will be WAY more work to gulvit the entire length of those seams on the interior side - but if you're putting decking in and don't want to fix the leaks rivet by rivet, the gulvit will be protected from abrasion on the inside of the boat by being underneath your decking - it will be exposed to everything in the water and abrasion with the bottom if you use it on the outside.
