I agree with this guy Zack, but then again I haven't put my stuff on yet! I'll let you know how I fair, I updated my thread a few mins ago. Hope you and the family are well!

Well... I took longer than I wanted but I ended up getting everything I wanted. I have the lab metal and I have the steelflex, and I plan on using both. I doubled my order of the steelflex since I heard all the crazy stories on the duty fees... Let me tell you they are all true. hahaha. ****...

Wooo hoooo!! I was a little late sending my check [-X but it finally got here! For all you Canadians out there! Make sure you get TWICE as much as you want to order because the 38$ duties are a kick in the pants! :oops: Really glad I went with the full gallon! Lets hope I'm as happy with...

I know crazy!! :shock: Due to how ugly the boat is, I don't want to waste too much money/time/effort on it. And I doubt I'm even going to touch the old patch job. Tomorrow I'm going to pressure wash it, then pick up some "Lab-Metal" and I'm going to put it on the inside and outside of where...

Here she is on her maiden voyage home... I'm thinking of calling her Black Betty when I'm done! (black pigment steelflex for the outside) My plan was to stop by the hardware store and pickup a few sawhorse hinges so I could rig up a few to get this thing off the ground while I work on it. And...

Did you get it express? She said she was going to ship mine ground which is USPS. I don't think they charge the ridiculous brokerage fees.

I will be sending my check first thing next week. I wont be able to apply it for a while... Weather isn't that nice up here!

Yes sir! I'm hoping more people chime in telling me its garbage... thus making me not want to try it. But so far its 50/50 tie lol.

Thanks! I'm wiling to give it a shot. Maybe I'll buy with the company that offers the propane tip. (I believe its the size of the tip that controls the flame/heat for the propane torches)

From what I've read the temperature you are using for the rods isn't hot enough to melt the aluminum. I guess that's a lie?

Muggy Weld : https://www.muggyweld.com/5clip13.html Vs. Dura Fix https://www.durafix.com/ From what I can tell they are the exact same thing, except that Muggy Weld requires a separate flux while the Dura Fix has the flux in the rod... I assume. Does anyone have experience working with...

Thanks for the information bassboy1! =D> I will update this thread as the repair process takes place. First step will be to clean it up and check where the leaks are. Try to rebuck any rivets that have leaks. I plan on using Muggy Weld to make sure any of the previous patches are properly...

is lock stock always so friendly?

I'm only planning on using a trolling motor! I just want to take it on ponds, rivers, and small lakes. But I would like anything under 10 HP so I don't have to license it, but that's a dream/not in my budget.

I am a huge noob and I'm looking for your guys expert opinion... Whats the difference? Fasco's Steelflex https://www.fascoepoxies.com/products.html vs Gluvit Epoxy Water Sealer https://www.fascoepoxies.com/products.html The Gluvit site gives much more detail about the results of the...

Hummm. Sounds like its the exact same as Steelflex...but I have no idea! I smell me starting a new topic... NOW!

#$(&$ Are you my twin from another country? I have a toddler and a pregnant wife too! Man was she pissed when I brought this thing home hahahaha.

I wish I could get away with that, but I think my boat needs the entire thing coated!

Welcome to the site! (look at the newb welcoming the newb) I don't think you have the same boat exactly, but it looks like it was made around the same time! Your boat looks like its in much better condition than mine! I'm positive cleaning up and putting on some steelflex will definately be...

I was told by many people that for what I paid for the boat its not a waste of money. I'm really hoping they are right hahaha. I wont have too much to update on my build now until I get the steelflex. (Hopefully your boat doesn't have as many ghetto patches/leak proofed with caulking) Maybe...
