[QUOTE="Motorboater, post: 441967, member: 22614"] Hello guys! I have used this site extensively over the last few months. It has been a great resource for my first tin boat restoration/remodel. I have learned so much. I have recently come to a point where I need some professional opinion. I have stripped down my boat to bare metal. What a project! I ordered all my paints and sealers. Quart of Gluv-it for seams and rivers, Steelflex for outside, and Durabak for inside. I did the water test yesterday. I did not have any leaking rivets but the seams on both sides leaked like a faucet. I have uploaded a YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/7QFRgocmpOc Do you guys think just coating it with Gluv It will fix the leaking seams or do you think I should replace all the rivets and reseal? I appreciate all you guys! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
