I have a 1972 12' aluminum seaking
It has some slight seepage at some of the seems. Rivets are all tight.
Is there a product I can use to seal the seems from the outside?

I do use this boat in saltwater. Oceanside Harbor and out past the breakers(water permitting)
I also use the boat in fresh water lakes.

Seepage is minimal, maybe 2 ounces an hour.

I tried the search function and found lots of info on loose rivets but not much on sealing the seems.
TIA

Gluvit can be applied to the outside of the hull but works best applied inside. It is a penetrating epoxy designed exactly for aluminum hulls.

Do a search for gluvit on iboats and hang on to your socks:)

Do I have to scrape out what I can of the original sealant?
