I have a aluminum boat and i'm looking to seal the seams back by the tramsom as it is pulling away some.?

Question

i am hopeing some kind of liquid or putty.as i'm hopeing to also reinforce the transon to the boat.

Answer 1

i'd mig or tig weld if I were you!

Answer 2

I would re-enforce the seam using some type of mechanical means first, e.g. screws, rivets.  Next I would coat the outer surface of the seam with a product called gluvit.  It is a two part epoxy resin, but has some flexibility when dry. This product is made to coat aluminum on boats.  By mechanically stabilizing the seem first you won't over flex the coating.  This fix should last along time, years.  Good Luck.
