[QUOTE="richg99, post: 250846, member: 4376"] I used that material, or something very similar, on a model airplane's landing gear. It held up for some of my "anxious" landings....but..it eventually broke when my landings were often closer to crashes. There are many suggestions already on this group that have proven to work for tightening rivets. Bucking them ( I've never used bucking since I don't have a riveted jon ) and 3M5200 both come to mind. 3m5200 is approved for under-water-line use. It works on lots of things, but not everything. I'd try some of those suggestions before trying out some other "stuff" that hasn't been proven on boats. Sinking spoils your day. R [/QUOTE]
