[QUOTE="Mark_Fisher, post: 427639, member: 19867"] For castings, I have successfully used the aluminum brazing sticks. I haven't tried them on the hull because I don't think my propane torch can give enough heat. For the hull, I've been pretty happy with JBWeld for drilled hole "repair." Cured and sanded, it's pretty close to non-polished AL sheet. I countersink both sides slightly and puddle the epoxy to spread out to the flare. When sanded flush, there is a mechanical lock on the plug. I have seen these plugs last one year so far, with no leaks or staining. The riveting idea sound good too, though... [/QUOTE]
