[QUOTE="ladyhuntr, post: 350115, member: 14046"] This looks pretty cool! I'm fixing to try and put a deck on my 10 ft. jon boat using the ladder frame and was trying to figure out what is the best thing to use to cut the aluminum with. I'm reading everything I can online to help with ideas as I have never done this but am sure going to give it a shot and will be doing it alone. Once I get started on a project like this I have tunnel vision though. I tried to find out if jb weld will adhere to its self but couldn't really find out much on that. Does anyone know? The rivets had a lot of it on them and from what I understand its pretty hard to get off and I don't have the tools to do it with. The back seat has the rivets removed in front of it and I was going to put stainless steel bolts in to replace them as from what I read if you rerivet it they don't stay tight long. Anyway I was going to put jb weld over the screw heads on the bottom of the boat and since jb weld is already on where the rivets were, I wondered if it would stick. Gonna try it anyway cause I don't have anything to grind the old off or heat it up to melt it so wish me luck.
