I did a search on this forum, and on youtube etc, and ended up more confused. I have an old starcraft 14 foot aluminum with many leaking rivets. I want to eventually go the route of seam sealing with gluvit, but that is a project for later in the year when I have more time. I would like to try and rebuck some of the rivets that are leaking about halfway down the gunnels. Maybe it doesn't matter but I have seen and read two different ways to do this. One being to hold a bucking dolly/sledge/heavy piece of steel on the inside of the boat against the flattened tail of the rivet and then hit the rounded head on the outside of the boat with a hammer (no air tools for me). The confusing part is that I have read and seen videos where people do the opposite and hold the dolly against the rounded head on the outside of the boat and hit the flattened tail on the inside. I also seem to find people calling the rounded part the head, and calling the flattened part the head.
Thanks
