[QUOTE="Natedog57, post: 363770, member: 14790"] I'd use a bottom coat like Steelflex before 5200. I was very impressed with Steelflex, very thick product and finished off pretty slick. I will use it on every riveted boat I have in the future. I applied it to a welded hull mostly as a protective barrier, it seemed like paint would always wear off the runners/edges below the waterline. I have no personal experience with Gluvit, but have used Wearlon Wetlander Superslick which was very slick, but very thin and didn't stop up leaky rivets for very long. If your leaks are below the waterline I'd be a little concerned with the 5200 peeling up over time, just from the water passing across it at speed. [/QUOTE]
