[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 240751, member: 6982"] I have heard a lot of folks saying the flex on an aluminum boat is too great for JB weld and have experienced it myself trying to use it on a transom brace - it cracks. The best adhesive for our boats tends to be 3m 5200... Could you explain a little more what you are trying to do with it though? If all those red lines are framing on top and you are trying to brace them from the bottom...(this is what it sounds like to me)...you don't actually likely have to use a fastener of any type. You could lay 2x4's on the floor so the broad side is facing upwards and secure your vertical supports to those. Once it is in place it won't be going anywhere. [/QUOTE]
