[QUOTE="airshot, post: 494809, member: 1183"] Just a suggestion to add to the JB weld fix....use the round side of a ball pien hammer or other tool to dish the area around that hole. Scuff it real good than add your JB weld patch !! That will give additional material surface to grab on to and less likely to come off. Also add some the the back side to lock the patch in place. Have used JB many times on my old jon boat, lasts a long time but after some years it did crack and come off. I have also had good luck with "Goop" shoe repair stuff, that stuff lasted for many years. 5 years back I found a product called " leak stopper" clear roof patch/ coating. This stuff has worked really well...my ribs on the jon boat were actually worn thru, long cracks on the ribs from dragging over sand and rocks. Still no leaks after 5 years. Just some food for thought.. [/QUOTE]
