[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 261411, member: 6657"] A kinked wire cup brush on an angle grinder will do well. You can rebuck your rivets, but they will leak again because they're already weakened... and rebucking takes 2 people. The best and easiest one man method I've found for fixing leaking rivets is like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0MA1-5NXjs&feature=related [b]Closed end[/b] blind rivets dipped in epoxy before inserting into the hole will stop your leaky rivet problem and you don't have to have someone help you. You can also remove and reinstall your benches with this method. [/QUOTE]
