Hey there,

Found these cracks in the lip on the back... hope you can see them in the picture. They are right where the boat sits on the trailer... can Gluv-It fix that, or should we be looking to weld the aluminum?

Thanks guys.

Based on the size and location of that split I would suggest that you get it welded then apply gluvit to the inside.

Gluvit is an epoxy sealant not a structural glue. It is not designed to attach metal to metal.
