[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 114393, member: 2096"] I think JB weld is going to end up being the best solution for you. Anything else is either going to be noticeable (dozens of pop rivets) or not usable (blind rivets) or have a equipment investment/learning curve and start your foam on fire :mrgreen: [-X (alumiweld) JB Weld should adhere well especially if you can get it squeezed into the hole and it can sort of mushroom out in the backside against the foam. Sort of like a "liquid rivet" If nothing else pick up one of the small JB Weld kits and try it on a hole or two then you can sand it down and pick at it and see if it holds up enough for your likes. I used it to skim coat over a few alumiwelds I did and it stuck nice and tight to the metal. I had the metal very rough sanded and smoothed it out while I was sanding down the JB Weld skim coat. I don't think 5200 is going to stick any better then the JB Weld and I have read others saying the paint doesn't stick well. Gluv-it might be an option too but you will need to get the boat tipped on its side to keep it in place.
