My boat is welded. but dads old 1959 is riveted. I noticed it was taking some water last trip.. Want to seat the rivet rows. What is the go to stuff to use. Keep in mind he is cheap so please recommend accordingly.
To add to that ... I'd make sure to position/block the hull VERY well to avoid having unintentional weight or stress on the pieces while doing do. I think I'd also work a section at a time & pull every 3rd rivet or so, install a Cleco temporary fastener, then re-rivet the ones in that area.gunz said:I agree about doing it right. if it were mine I would do it right. Remove the rivets, Reseal the metal and install new rivets wet. That is the only RIGHT way to do if it you want my opinion.
