[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 224645, member: 3438"] I agree. Use hammer/anvil, and if not sufficient, then steelflex or gluvit. 5200 is more for sealing screws, etc below the water line, vs a smear on surface sealer. But, riveted on keels usually leak through the inner seam, and you can't reach the inner surface joint. So a surface sealant on the keel, won't help. If you remove the offending rivet and seal with new, it will. [/QUOTE]
