[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 110518, member: 55"] That is the joy of solid rivets. If the whole isn't incredibly larger than the rivet, the rivet will fill it out. The rivet will also fill out elongated holes. There are many reasons rivets are better than bolts, and you just happened to hit on one good one. You could use 3M 5200 if you wish, but with solid rivets, it is not needed, and be prepared for it to squirt out into your face when you tighten the rivet. I haven't forgotten about the solid rivet how-to article I am planning on writing. I think most of the Georgia boys could vouch for the fact that the weather has been less than desirable for a bit, and I cannot go fetch that boat out of the yard. [/QUOTE]
