Ok, I have been reading through posts and many people seem to state that marine rivets have some sort of a sealed center and thereby won’t leak like traditional rivets.
1. Where do I buy both the rivets & the gun to install these?
2. What size rivets are the best to get?
If I am going to go through the trouble and expense of getting a rivet gun I want to ensure that I get a good enough one that will last and not break halfway through a project. I prefer to buy most of the stuff before beginning project so I don’t have to run to the store 200 times going ohh crap I forgot this and must have it. I understand there will be minor things that I will have to do it but want to avoid as much as possible.
