[QUOTE="rootbeer, post: 417563, member: 11640"] I have the same problem with a boat that is as old. My concern with rebucking the rivets, is that I have read that it could worsen any small cracks that have developed around the rivets. After reading your post about applying the gluvit to the interior or exterior I decided to send an email to the company asking the same question. If I hear back I will post the response here. It would seem to make sense, as far as blocking water from entering, to apply it to the outside of the hull. However, I know my small boat sees contact with sand and gravel beaches from time to time and I worry that this would cause wear on the epoxy. [/QUOTE]
