[QUOTE="finstr, post: 435267, member: 22313"] First thing I did! Lol Get this; a small puncture in the hull maybe 1/4" long. So the PO drills 12 holes for 1/8" rivets and uses [b]steel[/b] patch with silicone on both sides. [b]Then[/b] puts larger aluminum patch over top with 12 more rivets and silicone. The steel had rusted and corroded the aluminum patch. Add 20lbs of Tremclad to hull, well you get the idea. So for each small puncture there was no less than 24 holes drilled! :roflmao: insane. I ground the mess off clean and used a Norton epoxy for adhering body panels. Its bond is much sronger than the aluminum and will not tear. Then I put a small smear of Shoe Goo around the perimeter to seal it and smooth the edges. [/QUOTE]
