[QUOTE="kalninm, post: 452425, member: 18635"] Yup I got that, however if I were to patch it with the .125" aluminum I have not that would be tough as all my cracks are just hairline cracks and jump from one rivet to another so the rivets would keep the patch off the actual body of the boat and where the crack is by a little bit. I could use the glass cloth like in the G-flex demonstration, but I was wondering would aluminum flashing work? Easy to form around the rivets, I can still rivet it in place as well, and cheap..... Just trying to figure out what to use as a patch. Also, if the crack jumps from one rivet to another but no further should I still drill it out maybe in the middle? Cause it's really just jumping from one hole to another. Last night I cleaned up the areas with cracks or leaky rivets and threw some 5200 one 5 of the 6 leaky rivets, the 6th one was still drying from my leak test on Monday. [/QUOTE]
