Thanks mate!

We used a Wattyl product at the time--Clear Metal Seal?? It has a wonderful shelf life--I am still using a 4 litre tin left over from my last commercial boat, some 17 years ago! But doubtless something better has evolved since then.

Thanks

Just roll it on with a roller?

We used to brush it on. But the "roll and tip" technique would probably work really well, we didn't know about it back then. It is very thin, quick drying, you need to be careful with runs, only brush vertically, IIRC. I still use it for small ally fabrication jobs I do. I'll get the correct name when i go down the shed later on.

Thanks Chris.

So, Is it ideal not to have any interior aluminium surface painted as well?

Such as internal can fit out, gunwales, foaming too decks, transom, etc??

It doesn't matter - sooner or later the paint will bubble ...... even with the best preparation & primer .

BC have just re-confirmed with me that they only supply painted boats, which is a bit disappointing…
