[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 356280, member: 10361"] I opted to use the Loctite PL S-30 Polyurethane sealant over the 3M 5200 because it holds it shape much better when dispensed from the tube. 3M 5200 is too "runny" for my liking, and I didn't want to have it drip out of the seam before it could cure. I was also not comfortable with the amount of flex it would retain after cured, since fiberglass and aluminum would have different expansion rates I wanted something that would remain flexible. 3M 5200 gets harder than the PL S-30. I hope you plan on bedding in the jet ski hull with fiberglass once you've joined the two hulls together, you will need lots of reinforcement in the motor mount area, and where the hulls are joined. If you don't glass all of that in, extending the footprint out to the width of the jon boat, the union will flex and leaks will develop. Look forward to watching the build, looking good, keep it up. :D [/QUOTE]
