Aluma-Brite?

Postby kalmic » Sun Jun 02, 2013 5:40 pm

How much aluma-brite do I need if I need it for the outside of 2 boats and refurbishing the inside of one boat? One boat is 14' and the other boat is 16'. Should I use the original Aluma-Brite or the Aluma-Brite Boat product? Or do you recommend a different product?

Same here Assa. I don't know what the things mentioned are. I've only ever done structural work to ships, outside of welding on aluminum jon boats.

I need to find something to get the corrosion off before I paint it. There is oxidation on the hulls.

Sand paper, stainless wire wheel, cup or brush?

Screw a brush or a media blasting, you'll eat up the metal

I was gunna say...it is only .100" thick.
I looked up the product. Alumicraft recommends it. Didnt say anything about how much per sq. Foot or anything.
Why dont you just call or email them and ask?
Google is your friend.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.
