For your next project mix pigment in Part 2 first. Don't use a power mixer as that reduces your working time tremendously. Use short nap roller. 2 coats maximum. Pour out whole container of mixed product to spread it out as fast as possible, the more you leave in the container by volume the faster it will get hot and start to kick. Never mix more then you can apply within 10 to 15 minutes.
Your company is the best I bought this because of him. The best thing I have to say is have a good sanded clean surface I also used Por-15 cleaner degreaser and Por-15 Metal prep. I used it for my 1973 Sears 14 foot Aluminum boat, I put 2 coats on.
Thanks for making this video. I just picked up an old Bassway 1848 jon boat and am thinking about coating the bottom like you did. I already tightened the leaky rivets and am about to repaint the wood transom next.
@@Auntyweehaa great so far. Had it flipped over during the winter, I did notice that one area that the sun was beaming down on had chipped. I figure it was because of a little dirt so cleaned it, and reapplied. Hoping to get it out next month.
Ok, I bought this for my 12' Jon boat. I mixed my colorant in part 2 first then added part1and mixed. Applied with roller and a plastic spreader. 2 coats and it came out great. I really appreciate your videos. My old boat looks new again. And no leaks
The corrosion pitting from the trailer bunks is usually caused by pressure treated boards. The chemicals react with the alum. Only the regular boards should be used.
Hey man do you remember what pigment color this was? Looks like a forest green almost. I'm looking to order some but I want more of an Olive Drab color..
Thanks for the video as I'm about to do a 16/48 lowe aluminum boat. I want to do the entire outside of the boat. Going to have a buddy of mine sand blast it first. The thing is got to remind who ever does the sand blasting they need to remember you can NOT blast aluminum to hard or you will loose hull thickness as aluminum is very soft lol.
Great job. if you would like to make the job go faster steel wire it , that works great. and remove all the stuff off the boat first, and mix the color in the pint and mix it up first it, then add the harder and finish mixing it. that will give you a little more time to work with.
So I just bought a jon boat we are currently stripping it down to paint it but I we did discover some leaking rivets would I be fine just covering them all with this to stop the leaking?? Also do I still have to Primer over the thing or should just paint over it?
Before you put that on. Did you have any cracks were rivets are. I bought a Bass pro 15ft tracker jon boat in 2010 2012 plus I'm running a 15hp mercury 4stroke.i used boat to install boat lifts all over lakes in oklahoma so your talking about putting around. Well this year I'm not installing lifts.in tje years ive owned this boat ive put flex seal paint bottom & inside jb weld on a crack it held for a little bit. Now I'm scraping the flex off the bottom cause it's flaking away ive noticed around rivets thier is cracks oh ya also a weld in the seam has a big --- crack about 8 10inches long. I guess bass pro is cheap on boats but they are exspinsive.im not sure how all this has happend to this boat from pushing lifts. I'm talking trolling speed.
Blake Sanders I just watched this today. I see you replied to Tim Commerford’s question about being out on the water a year ago. May we please have an update as to the status of your boat with a video of it on the water. In this video, you said something like you couldn’t believe someone hasn’t done a video like the one you were doing. Every video I watch about fixing Jon boats/aluminum boats, no one ever shows the boat out on the water to prove their handy work is what they claim it to be. I’m not hating. I’d just like to see if your method really works before I go ahead with your informative video. It was a great video
like Bondo, if you want to slow the curing time just use less hardener. in addition, the chemical reaction will be much faster if you are mixing on a hot day.
If you do not use the correct amount of hardber it will not cure correctly, if you use to much it will over cure causing it to fail later .. yes temperature has a lot to do with it
Damn no wonder that set up on you. You have to be the slowest person I've ever seen You didn't clean off your extra material before you started, wasted time! That stuff started setting up as soon as you mixed it
It is a long tested bottom coating epoxy paint. It is used for marine applications. It comes with a choice of pigments to add color. The cost per gallon is around $140 including four oz pigment. About the same price as any marine epoxy paint.

Fasco Epoxies well wish I would have known that,but it turned out great
Fasco Epoxies does this stop leaks?

Fasco Epoxies Hey can you please provide me with any tips on applying on a wooden hull?
[Get Schwifty] Has it lasted?
Thanks for making this video. I just picked up an old Bassway 1848 jon boat and am thinking about coating the bottom like you did. I already tightened the leaky rivets and am about to repaint the wood transom next.
Thanks for the video and warnings about the struggles you had.
Chris Baker yea it's a quick process
This was great! Thanks for posting it! Helped me with my Gheenoe restoration.
Awesome news. I'm in the middle of a Gheenoe refurb.

What product did you use the same one?
Is that 2 coats with one batch or two separate coats on different days?
This was applied two coats. One each day. Holding up great. Very please with results
Could you give us an update? Show the bottom and any gouges from hitting things or grounding.
Sorry I sold the boat,
Awesome video. I'm fixing to do a 16ft smoker craft in this stuff. Hope it goes well. Thank you for this video

Great video! Thanks!
Would this product be good to paint on a fiberglass water trough for a water fall ?
JUST WISH PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE ROOM FOR AN UPDATE HOW IT WORKED AFTER IT HITS THE WATER!

How did it turn out? Are you please? Any loose rivets or leaks

Thankyou brother
Thanks for video.
Guess Who your welcome
We use Steel Flex on our Airboat’s also a product called Frog Spit ( lol ) this stuff is great and hard as a rock, DO NOT USE A MIXER.
Great job. if you would like to make the job go faster steel wire it , that works great. and remove all the stuff off the boat first, and mix the color in the pint and mix it up first it, then add the harder and finish mixing it. that will give you a little more time to work with.
Looks great, I have a 14 foot by 36. Do you think 3 pints will be enough for mine? Is the stuff expensive?
Yes absolutely
So how did it turn out/did you need another coating?
Where can I order stuff and what does it run
Good information to know
What product is this exactly? , there are a lot on the site , thanks
im doing mine do think it will still stick to a primed jon boat
What products did u use and where can i get them
Where did you get it and how much was it very informative video
whats wrong with a paint brush?
Nice bro
Nice job
So I just bought a jon boat we are currently stripping it down to paint it but I we did discover some leaking rivets would I be fine just covering them all with this to stop the leaking?? Also do I still have to Primer over the thing or should just paint over it?
I'm doing the same. No primer. Remove all the paint. Sand down with 24 grits. I even sanded down old jb weld. Clean. Apply
nice video men thank you men
Is it durable for beaching a boat?

Hei Blake, how bout some update on your steelflex 2000. really curious hows that turn out so far. Thanks in advance
marty4619 it's has healed up perfect.. love it
Could I use this on aluminum???
The boat is aluminum 🐡
where did you purchese the steel flex
fascoepoxies.com
Can I. Add a layer of poly eurethane over the flex seal? Or is it unnecessary?
Not needed once it cures it would not stick due to the Teflon coating
can u use it on your boat if its already painted on the bottom?
yes just prep correctly
update?
I watch your video and did every thing you did except adding paint is this why it harden up real fast?
No, probably mixed to long of a time.. it dose not take long to harden,
How much did you have to use to coat the entire hull well? 1 quart or did it take 2?
Sean Behnke took 3 quarts
How is it holding up and is there any concerns with this product?
Anthony Hernandez holds up perfect
what is a pient?

You didn't clean off your extra material before you started, wasted time! That stuff started setting up as soon as you mixed it
You sound like its a real chore to get your Jon ready, personally, I don't want to watch you paint your boat for 20 minutes
well go and get on top of your daughter for 20 mins....u should be excited now...he did a good job !!!! cant wait till funky trump build that wall
