Hi Guys - I'm refurbing a 12' tinny and, after removing the transom today, found 2 cracks along the weld where each gunwale meets the back aluminum plate.
So - since I'm not handy welding aluminum, I'm opting for JB weld (dumb idea?) I'm also using it to repair a hole or two here and there as well.
My question is, how to you stop this crap from running - its a bit soupy! I've tried letting it sit for a little bit then applying but the end result it still pretty close to when i apply it right after mixing.
I've settled on this procedure, mix, wait a few, apply, then 'holding' in the area i've applied it with lightly w/ masking tape. Is this the way to do this? Is there a better technique? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
