[QUOTE="Doneaster, post: 315044, member: 11659"] Last year I repaired several leaky rivets using some epoxy I got from Cabela (that is ideal for sealing leaky rivets) and used some aluma weld to repair a 4 inch long rip in a Seanymph 14 foot v-hull. After repairing the rip I noticed some more leakage from the seams near the rip repair. The heat from the propane torch had melted the Alumalast that the factory uses to seal seams. I then coated the entire bottom of the boat with Fiberglass (2 coats) and allowed it to run down inside the seams and also applied fiberglass to the inside of the boat in the area where I used the propane torch. Me and my wife have fished out of the boat dozens of times now with absolutely no leaks at all. [/QUOTE]
