Here is a link I saw of a Gluv-it application when I was figuring out what to put on the bottom of my boat. Hope it helps. https://tinyurl.com/cpk9mcBrine said:
I think that is where it is most used. I cannot say anything towards how well it holds up on the outside (leave that to Ouachita to answer) but it on the inside, it really works wonders.Brine said:
As far as the herculiner or bedliner type products it seems to be used almost exclusively on the inside. I am not sure how well it works as a sealant. Those that I have read that used it on the outside (See LBH recent post) did not have good results. The products like Gluv-it, Frog Spit or Steelflex are for the outside of the hull to protect it from abrasion and to seal it. Frog Spit and Steelflex are widely used on mudmotor boats and airboats to protect the hull and have teflon additives that help them to slide over gravel or vegetation in shallow water. I can't see how putting anything on the inside would completely seal the boat from leaky seams or rivets. You can't get complete coverage because you are have to deal with ribs, channels and you are only covering the rivet tail and the outside of the two pieces of aluminum that are being held together by the rivet. Of course the most important thing is to make sure that the rivets are tight before you put any type of sealant on them. Before I covered my own boats hull in Steelflex I tightened every rivet with a rivet punch in an air chisel backed up on the tail by a sledgehammer head.bassboy1 said:
