amkulic Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, I have an 8ft aluminium boat which I got for just $220 but it has a small hole in it about the size of a finger nail. Ive tried just about everything to fix it, including aluminoium rods with a blow torch. I think I will get it professionally done now....does anyone know how muchh it should cost for a welder? or any locations on the north shore?? Thanks for any info or advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemmm Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Mate of mine had a hole similar size and simply used two inches of that heavy tape they use in waterproofing. I think it has a base of tar of some sort and you heat it up. He then just painted over it cost him nothing. My grandfather has a small hole in his tinney that he filled with mastick and that has lasted over a year now. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
