[QUOTE="kalninm, post: 452350, member: 18635"] So I have a few leaky rivets on my hull, being that I already have it put back together and completed on the inside the rivets, Cant get to the rivets to replace them, and I know its not the best way but I am looking for an easy fix for this. I was thinking about wire brushing around the rivet to clean off the paint around it, then coating it with epoxy and letting it cure. What I'm more concerned about though is I have two hairline cracks in the hull about 3" long. Couple options I was considering include RTV, Epoxy, or welding. What concerns me with welding is I have sheet foam on the other side of the hull and I like to keep my boat not on fire. Any thoughts on this stuff? Yes I know this is like cutting corners but I never did a leak test and now I'm paying for it but the boat is not getting disassembled. Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
