[QUOTE="WMcGrath, post: 314638, member: 11363"] Those few leaky rivets I had mentioned were plugged up using G/flex. It was the easy way out but the guy at the local marine store couldn't say enough about the stuff. Well, I did a sloppy job. My intentions were to completely cover the rivets and wet sand it after it dried. What I should have done it applied it as the directions told me to using just enough around the rivet using the syringe it came with. It's a bummer but no one will see it in the end, all the rivets are on the bottom of the boat. Good news is it worked and the boat no longer leaks, I guess that's most important. Either way, I then primed, painted and clear coated the boat. Came out pretty nice. Wasn't looking to have a sports car finish on it, just something that will hold up and pretty it up a bit. Along with doing that, I used a steal brush carefully to clean and polish up the bottom so it would shine on the water. Here are some pictures: [/QUOTE]
