Got my GluvIt..got my MarineTex epoxy putty ...got my rivets and got my 3M 5200....
So here is what my weekend should* consist of... wire brushing the rest of the inside of my boat... especially along the ribs where I need to pop in some new rivets...not worried about the old non skid paint... Ill re-do that anyway.
Wash her down with the TSP I bought a month ago....let dry.
Dip the rivets in some 3M..pop em in..wipe off excess... let cure.
While the rivets are setting, I am hoping to work up the MarineTex putty and patch the holes up towards the bow where the previous owner riveted in the ID tags... got about 40 holes in all... I think they are all 1/8" big...
Hopefully...* with enough cure time for the rivets... starting putting on the GluvIt...
I have one seam right down the center and around and up the transom... the rest I will use to hit the ribs and all of the rivets from the inside...
Again.. this is what I want to happen... the wife and kids may think otherwise...
