that 3m 8115 is a little expensive to be using it as a seam sealer on some tubs....

what do you mean the outside is ground smooth?? you welded the complete outside? and theres no penetration.... Weld that thing shut.. why not it will take an additional 10 minutes and there will be no questions afterwords

i agree,but do stich welds,work you way up to the top,(do 1/2" on right side let cool,move to left and do 1/2" weld let cool, and so on and so on)
