[QUOTE="tlanders, post: 417630, member: 21393"] Thanks for responding to my question. My company builds gas handling equipment for the bio-gas industry and we never allow aluminum and stainless components to touch each other - corrosion results because of the difference in the dielectric constant of the two materials. Have you seen any corrosion around the stainless fasteners to aluminum joints? Thanks for the heads up on the silicone. I did buy a product called Amazing GOOP® Coat-It Epoxy to seal the rivets along the bottom. Has anyone used this product and how good is it? Also, I have had conflicting information about welding the 57 year old aluminum. Some say that where you stop the weld, the metal becomes brittle because of the heat and a new crack will start there. Others say that is not a problem. The original weld in the corner where the transom is welded to the side panel has cracked. It's really a crack in the weld, not the base material, so maybe I could TIG weld it what do you think? Teddy [/QUOTE]
