[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 352277, member: 6657"] That would be mission impossible. Gluvit is designed to be a very thin, runny, drippy product to be used on the inside of the hull with the boat in the upright position. It'd designed to run into all of the minute cracks and crevices. Even with the boat upside down and applying gluvit to the exterior isn't a good application. It just wants to run over the top and run/drip down without really penetrating anything... and then it has to be painted to prevent UV breakdown. The only way you can permanently fix leaks in an aluminum boat from the outside is to replace rivets and apply riveted on patches to cracks and such. Everything else needs to be addressed from the inside of the hull. This is an easy way to replace leaking rivets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0MA1-5NXjs&feature=related [/QUOTE]
