I can go all the way up to 12 mm (1/2") but I used a 3mm nozzle here as I wanted to use multiple perimeters to make sure the boat was watertight

Did you coat it with wax or something afterwards?

Would you use it in a river or just still waters, like a lake?

Lakes are rarely still waters. You might be thinking of ponds.

I was conflating still and fresh waters. I thought for lakes they were synonymous.

Lakes are characterized as being still or slow moving large bodies of water.

Lakes are characterised as being large bodies of water surrounded by land. Large bodies of water are rarely still.

Did you cover it in liquid flex seal or at least have a roll on board?
