[QUOTE="docksider, post: 282579, member: 9906"] As I investigate this question, I have learned that many boats have this filler material in seams, some call it a "welt" or "welting", and that it was, in at least some instances, made by Goodyear. Those familiar with boot-making may smile at this, remembering that one method of affixing uppers to soles is with a "Goodyear welt" (though it involves no rubber). Other methods are Norwegian welts and Littleway welts. (If only I knew as much about alum boat fabrication-- :)) Any additional information or thoughts will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
