[QUOTE="11B3G, post: 274378, member: 8989"] It is the type you buy from Autozone... I have used it before on a few things like my 76 CJ and a few of my friends trucks.... I had only one little leak in the hull of the boat and I intend on flipping the boat over and fixing it from that side as well... as far as if it seals well, after it fully dried and hardened, I filled the boat with about 8 inches of water and ended up draining it through the bilge hole and pump.. It only took half the gallon for me to put 2 coats on the floor, so I taped off 6" above where my floor would finish out at and put 2 coats on everything below that, as well as a third on the bottom..... I took a nail to it this morning to see how well it had bonded to the aluminum and with a decent amount of force I was unable to put a scratch in it... With that said... I am thinking about buying another gallon and just doing the whole inside of the boat with it... I layed to coats of OD green out of a spray can and it held very well on the liner... For applying the liner, prep your hull the same way you would as if you were going to paint it... If you did want to paint it after it dried, I would say prep the surface of the liner similar to the way you prep any surface except for sanding or roughing it up.. mainly just wash it with a degreaser, wash that off with a mild soap and lots of water, let it dry and paint it...
