[QUOTE="Mojo^, post: 298167, member: 5456"] Gluvit does work very if you get the aluminum very clean. It has zinc chromate in it and will adhere to clean aluminum and help with corrosion. Make sure you mix it very well before applying. The down side is that it is expensive. I used it on the inside to seal all rivets that attach stringers and in any seams. The Steelflex will have to take care of the rest. I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy and feel better knowing that I the boat is sealed inside and out even though using onlyGluvit would have been just fine. Be aware that Gluvit does not have any additives to prevent breakdown from UV so you will have to paint over it. [/QUOTE]
