[QUOTE="Skipjack, post: 448172, member: 21889"] Alumiweld time! Since I want to make sure this boat is solid and no leaks I went ahead and got all the random old holes prepped and ready for Aluminum brazing with a product some know about - Alumiweld. It works if you don't want to half a$$ it and use JB weld and don't have access to a Tig welder. It takes time to get the hang of it and temperature control is paramount. I'm not a welder and don't claim to be but it got the job done with satisfactory results. Some of the offending holes below the water line [img]https://i.imgur.com/W6JjN4U.jpg[/img] Filled in [img]https://i.imgur.com/N8HlRHf.jpg[/img] More holes! [img]https://i.imgur.com/aDCHHOk.jpg[/img] And the "Mystery hole" that looks a lot like a bullet hole once I removed a glob of JB weld... :shock: [img]https://i.imgur.com/IFeBNTB.jpg[/img] All done and covered up!
