[QUOTE="sonny1, post: 498735, member: 32555"] Back to subject at hand. I thought about welding the stress crack caused from a bad scrape mark down the bottom of boat but figure the patch that I removed had been there for over five years. Concerned if I apply heat it may just crack even more along the scrape mark. The crack is only about two inches. Patch and fill scrape mark with Pettit EZ Marine epoxy repair compound. The other rough spot is just some small cracks caused from straitening out a bad dent. The later is real close to a lot of rivets so heat is out of the question. Confident the West system repair kit 650k along with some fiber tape should do the trick. Plan on patching outside and inside of boat. All of the rivets are getting a coat of Gluvit on the inside and all the seams are getting a shot of West system system 650k. All the small dents and bangs I plan on smoothing out with the epoxy repair. Might be a lot of extra work but am good with that. [/QUOTE]
