    The tanks in my boat where soft.Even with the 1/4 gap between the tank and the hall the fuel vapors still effected hall.I added a laminate on the inside and out side.

    The plate didn't run up under the prop so I had to work on the bottom to change the plate and I wanted to add a small pad just to see what happens. It's called Duratec.It's a catalyzed surfacing primer. This is one of my other projects.
