I have a half dollar size gouge in the side of my Tuffy, probably about 3/16th, to a 1/4 inch deep. How would I go about fixing it? I was thinking about this stuff?

JB Marine Weld
Use MARINE WELD as an adhesive, laminate, plug, filler, sealant, and electrical insulator. Squeeze out equal portions from the black and red tubes. Mix thoroughly. Clean surface to be bonded. Apply MARINE WELD, and let it cure. That's all there is to it!

Like metal, MARINE WELD can be formed, drilled, ground, tapped, machined, filled, sanded, and painted. It stays pliable for about 2 minutes after mixing, sets in just 4 minutes, and cures fully in 4 hours. It's water-proof; petroleum-, chemical-, and acid-resistent; resists shock, vibration, and extreme temperature fluctuations, and withstands temperatures up to 500° F. MARINE WELD is super strong, non-toxic, and safe to use. Before it sets, you can clean up with soap and water.

Make sure the damaged area is completely dry before you make the repair. You don't want to trap moisture under the JB Weld
