Bummer:

I'm guessing you used the new MIG outfit to repair the holes after some dolly work to bend it back. Correct?
What's the plan for the now missing rivets:

Awesome work by the way, hull looks great, and a transom cut, glued & clamped.... Might only need 9 of those 10 days

Boy you Manitoba boys don't screw around when you get in boat building mode, wicked progress. I've got the same Linclon welder and spool gun and I can't make that sucker stick aluminum together to save my soul:frusty:

Prime rib and no notice too get there before the dinner bell:blue:

You're right no notice had to stop in the middle of something, but didn't want to eat it cold.

Hi Glen, about your welder, my son said, make sure you clean the area to be welded with a stainless steel brush, steel brush will contaminate the aluminum should be warm as possible, he uses a setting of a or b and feed at 2 or 3, an have to use argon gas and set at about 35 if you haven't already tried this you might want to try it.

Ever tried an eraser wheel for decals? Works like a charm

Hey Dave, looked at it don't think it would have worked to well on the sylvan it had 3 two and a half inch stripes from stem to stern, but it's done now so no worries but thanks for the tip.

Thanks John, I will have to spend a little more time playing with it. I can tig weld aluminum no problem, but this mig is giving me fits.
