[QUOTE="dixie_boysles, post: 124310, member: 2609"] ok, got the spot grinded on and paint removed around it for welding today! There is also a lip on the front of the boat that was tore up so we cut that off and we're going to put a piece of aluminm angle there. We also removed two anchor tie downs because im going with new ones! My buddy doing some grinding: [img]https://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/dixie_boysles/SU1HMDAxNDAuanBn-1.jpg[/img] Removing tiedowns: [img]https://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/dixie_boysles/SU1HMDAxNDIuanBn-1.jpg[/img] The piece of metal that is on also got removed. It was messed up. Its getting a piece of aluminum angle put in its place. Im just going to pop rivet that in though. The spot in floor gining me so much trouble [img]https://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/dixie_boysles/SU1HMDAxNDEuanBn-1.jpg[/img] [img]https://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/dixie_boysles/SU1HMDAxNDMuanBn-1.jpg[/img] It gets an aluminum plate welded to it today to strengen it as well as seat that area off. then maybe i can start on some sanding and priming! Also, as far as little screw wholes and stuff, would it be ok to use an marine eposy and fill them with it, then when it dries and hardens, just sand it down even with boat? help please. i want a nice finish on the boat when its done. Also, where is a good place to get the aluminum oxide primer for the boat; is it ok if I use that but dont remove all paint down to bare metal? I dont want to remove all the paint, but there are bare betal spots, what would be best primer for this application...on the cheap? [/QUOTE]
