[QUOTE="ober51, post: 84320, member: 1354"] Zum, thanks for the post. I was "told" it doesn't leak. Not quite sure - my dad seems to think it probably leaked and that's why that stuff was applied (not applied well). I went ahead and purchased/ordered Steel Flex late last week - so that should seal the outside, no? I plan on putting some water in it to see if it does before I apply that just to see. I'm not all that worried, there are no gashes or anything, but maybe a rivet or two is suspect and I am just not seeing it. I made a lot of progress today - relatively speaking. It was taking forever to scrape the stuff off...until my girlfriend's father said, "Here try this." He handed me a heat gun. Leaving it on for about 30 seconds, the stuff started peeling right off with little effort - this would have save me hours had he mentioned his idea before! Oh well, I basically finished off all that, all that remains is getting around the rivets and the transom - and I think I am going to redo that as well. The plywood seems suspect (Herculiner was also applied on there). Didn't take pictures like promised given that you guys will be like, "He barely did anything," lol. Oh, and any idea on what type of boat this is? Or do you need to see more to determine? And Steel Flex does seal the bottom, no? [/QUOTE]
