[QUOTE="nctlspider, post: 324782, member: 12296"] Between all my other projects, my Lone Star is at a stand still right now. I bought the flex steel for the bottom of mine. Its in rough shape, with a number of larger holes i am patching. I plan to use closed blind rivets with 5200 where you used the water weld on the replacement rivet/bolt holes. I've not had much luck with that JB WW stuff before, but I was a kid then, so I may have applied it wrong. I'm thinking you could get away with 1/8" stock, (1/4 would be nice, just out of my price range), dependent upon how far apart you set them. I'm no expert though! Once i actually get "anything" done,https://www.tinboats.net/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=21&t=31316# I'll start posting pictures. Some one on here had also posted pictures of pool noodles attached to plywood, which seems really economical and removable when I have to store outside. I'd like to try the Gluvit. People seem to swear by it, where as the Flexsteel has mixed reviews. [/QUOTE]
