kemical, I don't fool with old rivets.
I simply drill out the old rivet and get said fitted bolt, add some 5200 marine caulk from Wal-Mart and I'm done with it. I've done the last two boat projects this way. Its been fine
no leaks [-X
alright, i think i know what u mean now, about getting fitted bolt,,, and add some 5200,,, i think will do that,, cuz there is exactly 70 rivets that need to be 1.replaced or 2. soldered, 3. fitted bolt,, since i dont have rivetor,,and i dont think the one from homedepot
