You are a welder that used jb weld? Smh you should have took that to the graveWeldorthemagnificent said:I went with the red neck fix on the bottom runner. Cleaned it with a wire wheel and used JB weld. I drilled out 4 rivets and replaced which pulled the gap shut. I then smeared JB on both sides of the rivets.
My daughter helped me paint the inside with Tremclad/Rustoleum aluminum which I think looks a lot better.

how do you think the brush would do on old carpet adhesive?Weldorthemagnificent said:
Flipped the hull tonight and started playing around with this nyalox brush. Next thing I knew, half the boat was done. The paint underneath the sticker shows what color it was, coincidentally I happen to have a can of safety blue.
I hadn’t intended to strip it right down, just a scuff and paint. But the brush was doing a good job and it came off fairly quickly.

I know. I hang my head in shame. Lol. I don’t have a tig machine at home and where I work I’m not able to drag boats in. Besides this is supposed to be a throw in the back of the truck drag over rocks blood and guts fishing boat.Prowelder said:You are a welder that used jb weld?

Not as well I wouldn’t think. It really didn’t work that great on my last project for paint removal. This paint seemed to come off easier. I would try stripper first.dwjones16 said:how do you think the brush would do on old carpet adhesive?Weldorthemagnificent said:

Part of the process with these projects that I enjoy is buying and selling stuff. I picked up these tanks for $10 a piece which was good enough but the guy selling them was worth the $20 just to talk to. Took me 2 hours to complete the trip 15 minutes away!
Got home and hustled into the garage and finished the hull cleaning. This is the ugly side with a patch on it. Who knows what happened here but it got clobbered pretty hard at some point. The patch, while ugly, seems sound and I intend to leave it alone.

Maybe I’ll try that. It might improve my luck!LDUBS said:Weldorthemagnificent said:

Hey, the patch gives it a certain character.
Have you considered painting bait fish on the bottom? I saw where some of the salt water guys put bait fish decals on the bottom of their hulls. Seems like a completely dumb idea to me. That is probably why I would do it if I ever painted the bottom of my boat.
