Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zip" data-source="post: 508027" data-attributes="member: 10635">I finally got some time to start patching up my boat. I have a bunch of bolt holes throughout the hull. I have some larger ones I plan to patch with epoxy/fiberglass/riveting plates. BUT for the randomly dispersed bolt holes - I am not sure the best method of action. I have a few thoughts - I got one of those aluminum epoxy putty sticks, and was going to get some aluminum screen or fiberglass tape and patch/spread it from the INSIDE. I mention the inside because I plan to go over the bottom with the Total Boat aluminum epoxy barrier coat and paint. Obviously I plan to clean, etch, prep the surface before all of this. OR I was thinking about taping the INSIDE of the boat with painters tape, then spreading 650K GFlex and filler across the holes to fill them in. OR do you think just cleaning out the holes, then taping the INSIDE of the boat and painting the aluminum barrier epoxy primer would be sufficient for filling the holes? Or if you have another idea I would appreciate it. If I had to patch with aluminum plates and rivets i think I would have too much surface as some of the holes are spread out apart.
