[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 521276, member: 24594"] You're likely to get a wide variety of answers on these products as many folks use bedliners and flexseal products to seal their leaking aluminum boats. In my experience, however, they rarely work on aluminum in the long term. These products are largely in the urethane family of compounds and they stick to themselves really well but not always to the substrate. What looks like a consistent coating may actually be leaving pockets between the compound and the aluminum which allow for corrosion to begin....and then the removal of urethanes is worthy of an entire thread by itself. It ain't fun. Of course, I'm sure there are folks that are experiencing good results at the moment. My experience comes from rescuing vintage boats and having to reverse these decisions after the fact. I've now begun to just walk away from even the cool projects if any type of bedliner or flexseal is involved. Just my thoughts on it. [/QUOTE]
