[QUOTE="FishinLite, post: 465834, member: 17366"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF6910.JPG"]101800._xfImport[/ATTACH] See what looks like a white line on the seam between the boat side and bottom. That is a bead of 3M5200 to seal and reinforce the sealing material between the two sheets of aluminium. I cleaned the surface with ammonia water (1 cup to a gallon) and a small brush, then rinsed it thoroughly with fresh water. Allowed it to dry for a couple days. Lined both sides with blue painters tape. Then applies the bead of 5200. I used 5200 because of its slow dry time, which allowed it to slump into the voids. I removed the tape as soon as I had finished applying the bead. It looks good and has now been on the boat for a couple years without incident. [/QUOTE]
