[QUOTE="uncndl1, post: 409007, member: 20453"] I'm making slow progress, but the wooden transom has been sealed along with the seats, and it is curing in the basement. My next challenge, and why I'm asking for advice is that the aluminum on the inside is very pitted around the holes that the bolts go through, as well as the holes I want to patch. All along the top edge there are small holes that the tiny screws held the transom cap on, and it needs to be sealed up with epoxy. I also have several holes that also need to be sealed up (not sure what they were for but don't need them). I cleaned the area up real good with a wire brush, and have a heater in the boat pointed to the transom. My question is should I spray the self-etching primer first all over the aluminum BEFORE sealing the holes I want to plug? Or should I spray the primer on AFTER patching the holes with Epoxy?
