[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 395110, member: 13599"] if you turn your boat over, you can apply a finger tip of [b]3M5200 regular cure[/b] on each individual rivet. I say "regular cure" because it takes a couple of days to set up. Giving it time to creep and flow under the rivet before it cures. Fast Cure will only seal the outside edges and sets up quick, but, still will work. Cost analysis: do each rivet, one by one . . . you still get each and every rivet sealed. $15.00 do the whole hull bottom, $150.00 for many tubes of 5200. (not that anyone suggests it). Just do your research as to the Gluvit, Steel Flex, etc and see what will work best for you. On the World Wide Inner Web, you can compare the pros and cons from reading the labels on the products. Personally, I do the one by one approach with the regular cure 5200 with zero issues. The P/O of my bass boat applied Steel Flex to the bottom hull and over a dozen rivets have developed leaks. So with this one negative experience, I am not a fan of Steel Flex. Turning it over is not an option. I filled it with water to the water line. Marked each rived and seam that was leaking - after it had dried, applied the regular cure 5200 with zero issues. This was a year ago. jus my Dos Centavos There are MANY thoughts on the bed liner - ALL [b]NEGATIVE[/b] [/QUOTE]
