Can you use this on aluminum boat hulls

No, it won't last long. Use collinite insulator wax. It's a type of polymer that last.

I don't think so. It's all-aluminum and would not be very effective. Best to use cast iron or stainless steel.

I Don't see why not. It works great on my boat top and it covers very well.. Give it a shot.

I have never used it on aluminum but I wouldn't hesitate to try it because it is so strong when cured. I have NEVER been disappointed in this product over 10 years.

I suppose you could, I don't see why not. After a couple of years of use being pulled in and out of the water on my boat trailer the stuff still looks brand new.

I don't believe it will work on aluminum. there is a product that does, but I don't the name. You might have to Google the product. Just type " aluminum black".

No. But the rustolium paint and primer spray cans would do a pretty good job. I painted a 21 foot aluminum boat with it and it looks great.

You can look it up online but to be honest it shouldn't matter if its aluminum or not. I have used it on aluminum and non aluminum alike and never had an issue. I believe the warnings only takes precedence in extreme cases where your radiator is already too corroded to recover using products like this. In witch case you can purchase the aluminum safe permatex brand flush. This product is great though, works wonders.

Yes it will, it works very well, the aluminum will be very raw looking not shinny,it kind of etches the aluminum. If your doing a boat keep it off your trailer,it will discolor it. A chemist told me that you'd be better off purchasing a gallon of aluminum pot cleaner at an restaurant supply store

I repainted a few aluminum boats using this product. Rust-Oleum makes a etching primer that I used on the bare metal after stripping off old paint. I sprayed 2 coats Rust-Oleum etching primer followed by 1 coat of the Marine Metal Primer and then roll/tip 3 coats Rust-Oleum marine topcoat paint and it turns out great. You need an etching primer or zinc chromate primer on bare aluminum before any paint so the paint has something to adhere to. It's also important to get the primer on the bare aluminum soon after stripping the paint or the aluminum will oxidize. Follow instructions explicitly regarding application temperature, preparation and dry times between coats. I repainted a few aluminum boats using this product.

Don't see why not. It is very thin and I applied it to my boat top with a garden sprayer. Works well.

I used it on a outboard motor water pump housing made of some type of hardened plastic so for your question I would say yes but the difference between plastics these days does leave some doubt. Maybe do a test with it to be sure. This formula I am told come from 3m and to my knowledge is a formula that has never been surpassed and my use of it on plastic outboard parts has never failed me

i had no problem with this prouduct . i used it on my boat and it worked fine . try it on something else and if you get the same result mabey you received a bad can.

This product cannot be used on aluminum. It will ruin the metal. Check first what metal is used and if it is not aluminum, you should be fine.

My understanding is NO. This is superb for repair of even fairly large holes/tears in aluminum boats but does require some drying/curing time. It does set rather quickly and is very tough when completely dry. Really doubt its effectiveness on wood. Underwater...NO....

it should clean aluminum safely, i use it on all types of pans. it truly is the best.

No I don't think so, This sealer is designed for plastic type material. It doesn't get nearly hot enough to seal Aluminum.
