[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 408410, member: 15636"] IMHO you MUST zinc chromate prime any aluminum before sealing, regardless of what you use to seal. See here for graphic :shock: pictures Johnny just posted of "untreated" aluminum, see: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40251 That said, take a look below: [img]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=77910[/img] For those who need details, that sealing tape is a 3M closed-cell vinyl foam that Starcraft recommended. Before riveting together, I also wiped a bead of 5200 onto the tape, then a nice bead where my transom met the hull. FWIW I just went through a TOTAL transom replacement and there's lots of pictures and tips in my posts about it - see my signature. [/QUOTE]
