[QUOTE="sonny1, post: 501616, member: 32555"] Took yesterday off and thought about it. Sentimental value and the amount of work done so far I am moving forward on the little boat. The hole in the hull is no big deal but I know the transit leaks. Have two 650k kits and plan on using that on the seams. Clean everything up really good. Then a position boat so when I apply the goop I can lightly heat it up with propane torch and let the stuff flow into the seam. Saw a video on this procedure awhile back and was impressed. Only one way to find out if it works and that is to do it. Talked to a old fart who did the same to his boat about 5 years ago and he claims no leaks. I also noticed his boat had some patches on it. Looked like a thin piece of aluminum riveted to both sides of hull. He claims that the patches have held for over five years. 3m 5200 and two pieces of aluminum riveted in place. Seen videos on this procedure and had my doubts about it. Apparently it works. I also have a large can of gluvit and plan on using that on seams and rivets inside of boat. One thing for sure I have a lot of work to do prior to priming and painting. [/QUOTE]
