Thats what I was thinking. It never actually sets up like regular paint

It's a white elastomeric coating. https://www.koolseal.com/catalog.asp

I was thinking of the same stuff WW was the silver roof paint. I can picture this stuff tearing off like tape... I don't know???

If you do decide to go with it, post up some pics and let us know how it works out.

Koolseal has a rubber like quality to it.If it doesn't adhere well it will peel like a banana.I sealed the roof of my outbuilding with it this past spring.I dunno how well it will hold up on the bottom of a boat,especial at speed.

Bass Bro check my build thread https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4875
This is the stuff you want, trust me, it came recommended from a fellow TB member and it seals up the bottom water tite. It's called Fasco 9X SteelFlex
