[QUOTE="answer3, post: 378462, member: 15618"] Just bought some aluminum rivets and 5200 at home depot tonight and gave a shot in a spare piece of aluminum to see how it goes before working on the hull of my boat. This is the first time I was using rivets and was quite surprised of the result... The back part of the rivet is very protruding and I am affraid it will catch things on the inside of the boat... Below are some pictures to illustrate what I am talking about. How do I reduce the size of this protruding part on the inside of the hull? Do I have to use shorter rivets? Do I have to hammer the back to flatten it? [/QUOTE]
