Chris-W Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Anyone have any experience with using epoxy resin (or anything else) to paint on a sealant coat to the bottom of a polyethylene (pelican's ram-x material) boat if we suspect a pinhole leak? Over the course of a year, my father in law's pelican Bass Raider 10e fills up with water inside the pontoons so we're just wanting to paint something on the bottom to seal any minor leak up. Ideally, we want to use something clear. I came across west system g/flex epoxy but I believe it sets up with a gold tint. I've also read about a reverse leak test (fill the pontoons with water and set the boat on blocks to watch for leaks then just address the leak). Any thoughts or insights? I appreciate it! Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I used the clear quick set epoxy from Walmart on mine to fill all types of cracks and hole. When I first got it it filled up with water in about 3hrs. After epoxy not a drop for 2 years till I sold it. Quote
