[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 437679, member: 13599"] no matter what method you choose to go with, ALL the corrosion must be removed and the metal must be free of all contaminates - down to bare shiny metal. (with a 40 grit rough scratch) you could use the 30 minute clear epoxy you see at the Big Box Stores. I patched some holes on the bottom of my tin 18 years ago with the generic twin barrel syringe type epoxy and they are still holding firm. use the 30 minute type vs the 5 minute so it will have time to flow out and seek its own level. I know that my time tested method works. I now use the G-Flex 650 epoxy by West System for small repairs. I suggest that you turn the boat over to patch the holes using my method. that way the hull will be smooth and flat on the outside with the small indent will be on the inside. bring your boat down to Orlando with you and I'll give you a hand with it. good luck and have a safe trip and I can really understand the disappointment of rotten rivets !!
