The property we bought that has a pond also came with an old 12' Meyers aluminum boat. It looks like a limb fell on it at some point in time that left a decent dent on the edge of the hull and possibly contributed to a nearby crack in a rib.

Having been in "marine repair" for more years than I want to think about here's a couple of things to think about before you pass off any "boat repair" too casually.

Hello - I have a 17 foot aluminum boat and I recently noticed a crack that is seeping water.

It's a couple of inches long.

Answer (1 of 7): NO! Do NOT attempt to repair cracks on any bicycle frame regardless of material with JBWeld OR any type of epoxy. First, most cracks in an aluminum frame, especially when they are in the tube rather than at a weld signifies fatigue. Attempting a repair without knowing the cause...

The crack's surface also has an oxide layer. If you try to repair the crack merely by welding over it, the oxide layer will keep the crack from mending, and it will still be there after welding. Therefore, to repair a crack in aluminum, you must first excavate the cracked area with a grinding wheel or burr and completely remove the crack.
