While I've got the floor up I'm fixing a temporary patch a previous owner had set in place. There's a nice dent that runs up the aft just port of the keel. It lifted the side up away from the keel and popped a few rivets along the way. I've got most of the repair well in hand but I've got a few questions.
1) The previous owner patched it with some sort of liquid rubber type thing. Anyway, it's black and rubbery. What is this stuff? It seems to have made for a pretty sturdy patch.
2) I have that black stuff running between the keel and the aluminum panel that makes up the bottom of the boat. I may or may not be able to get all of it out. I'll gluvit the inside, but the seams on the outside will remain a little wavy. I'm planning on coating the whole seam with something. Given that I've got the black goo already worked into the seams, maybe that's the best option when I go to re-cover it all. Suggestions?
