new here and wanted to say hi.
I have 2 boats. A 13 foot flat bottom that is old and beat up and a 1648 Lowe faltbottom. It is a bit older.
I totally screwed up and was pounding out a dent and put a hole in the corner of the bottom in the front.
I had a braizing rod but I could NOT get the boat hot enough to melt it and could not repair it that way. Not buying a new torch, so what other repair options are there? I was going to steel flex it as well, but want that hole fixed before I do the steel flex even though I been told the SF will repair it.
And lastly, when I do the SF should I work in heated garage? It's 60's here...
