jughead Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hello all, just curious if anyone has used JB Weld Marine weld to patch a small hole on an aluminum boat. Advice, experiences, good or bad would be appreciated. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishermccann Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yes I have used it but not on a boat. Garden furniture, white metal, put it on 4-5 years ago and still holding strong. PS. wear gloves when you mix the putty together , it was almost impossible to get off my fingers afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparhawk Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Damaged some rivets on a stump. After realizing my boat was leaking I ran JB Weld over the rivets. Actually a couple times. Sanded the paint off for adheasion and everything. It didn't work worth a crap really. I would try another approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bassin Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have used it several times in the past and it works for me , as a matter of fact it is still holding strong on my tinny after 10 years. What I do is make sure area is clean and dry and put boat in the sun to heat up the aluminum , this makes the weld flow nice . Make sure you let it dry/cure for a good 24 hours before using. Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
