[QUOTE="Shavoc, post: 236804, member: 7459"] Well, we had a cold snap come through so my progress has been slowed. I managed to get the primer on - inside and out - but still need to hit it with the outside paint coat. I'm going with OD green - haven't decided whether to use Parkers duck boat paint, or just spray it with stuff from the hardware store. It's been cooler out, but it is supposed to warm up for the weekend. On a side note, I'm planning out a front deck, with aluminum bracing. Has anyone had trouble with aluminum rivets breaking off when using a hand riveter? I had several break when testing. I have a compressor, and an air riveter, but sometimes I just use the hand riveter if it's only a few. Also, what thickness should I use for the front deck if I use aluminum? What thickness would be best if I used plywood? (Not pressure treated of course) Thanks for any help you can provide. [/QUOTE]
