Maybe a little silicone caulking over the JB Weld?? we use it to keep water out of windows/doors when we install them. It's flexible and water tight as far as I know.

Try a product called "gluvit" if jb weld doesn't work. This is great stuff meant to seal aluminum and be subject to underwater conditions.

this. i used epoxy and then dumped silicone sealant over a hole in my cartopper to be extra safe. then duct tape over that for abrasion resistance. seems to be holding up pretty well.

Gluv it will work guranteed. but if you want some extra protection i can give you the name of a phenomenal welder. That can add some extra material also . He's an avid fisherman too Very Happy
