Gluvit Questions!!!!!

[taotao61]

Hey all! So heres the deal, I bought a few quarts of gluvit,flipped the boat, sanded the hull, bucked all the rivets, and put down the first coat of gluvit. I brushed it over all the seams and rivets, BUT I did not cover the entire bottom......So I guess I want to know if I have to cover the whole bottom or just the rivets and seams?

I plan on putting another coat down so this is why I ask...

I know a few of you guys told me to put it on the inside rather than the exterior bottom. But I plan on covering all the seams and rivets on the inside aswell!! I have dealt with far too much water in the past to not go ahead and do both applications. PLEASE ANY AND ALL SUGGESTION OR TIP WOULD BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!!

THanks

You only need to cover the rivits and seams.

Agreed, that stuff is too expensive to cover the whole hull anyways

Got some pics of your project? Start a resto thread if you want, it helps to get qustions answered if folks know what you are working with.

Welcome to iboats!

Where you apply the gluvit should also be out of direct sun or it will need paint.

People have applied gluvit as a barrier coat on the exterior of the hull on the bottom.

The seams and rivets are the key. It can be used on wood also.

What are you working on?
