[QUOTE="ShipwreckStew, post: 312373, member: 10877"] The missing rivets have been patched and painting has begun. I did not patch with a muggyweld type of product, but used JB Welds' Water weld instead. I sanded the bottom of the boat, then wiped it down with a vinegar/water mix. I bought a quart of Majic tractor truck and implement paint in gloss white to try and I was very disappointed in it's quality and performance. After thinning the paint per instructions on the can, the spray came out chunky so I brushed the rest of it on and it ran and looked horrible after it dried. I used Rustoleum gloss white and I liked the color and finish much better than the tractor paint. I took pictures of both of them and will post them another time. Waiting on better weather to put a second and maybe a third coat on the bottom of the hull. [/QUOTE]
