[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 217717, member: 1931"] If you use some 80 grit sand paper and sand the aluminum very well, it will adhere. But it is not ever really stuck that well. I would not do it on the outside of the hull. If you did it on the inside and after it was glassed in, you went back and put some aluminum over it and used seom 5200 or rivets to the hull it would last much better. I work with fiberglass for a living. I did glass the transom area of my boat, but only to seal the multiple corrosion holes. Once I sanded it and glassed it, I came back and used some pop rivets to make sure it was held into place. Fiberglass is a chemical bond to fiberglass. Fierglass to aluminum is a mechanical bond, kinda like paint. [/QUOTE]
