Re: Anyone with JB Weld experience?
If the tiny holes are the result of corrosion you have a bigger problem than you may think. The electrolysis effect will have thinned and weakened the original material to the point of near failure, and to apply JB to that will put you in a position to invite severe repercussions when out enjoying your boat, with the possible result of loss of life. When it comes to trying a cheap fix, I have, out of experience with problems of losing a boat, learned to bite the bullet and do things the right way. Get it welded or replaced with the proper methods and live with a much more satisfied feeling that you have done it right the first time. The hard thing I had to learn from my own experiences was that if I couldn't afford to look after or maintain a boat, I should have got something smaller or cheaper and simpler! My worst experiences taught me the most, as you would expect, but my standards as to messing with quick repairs or fixes has risen to a level where I will not.....ever, do anything to put myself in that kind of position again, and I have enjoyed boating to the fullest ever since. If this was an overkill message disregard it, as I don't mean to discourage anyone from having fun, but be aware of the possibilities of your actions, and lives of others.
Take care, PH.
