[QUOTE="hopper33, post: 490685, member: 31803"] I getting very frustrated. My intention is to replace a few leaky rivets and the seal a bunch more with Gluv It on the interior of the boat. The problem I am seeing is that I believe you need to prep the aluminum for Gluv It by removing the paint around the rivets. I have heard the best way to remove the paint is by using a stainless steel wire brush. The concern I have is when using the wire brush to remove the paint, I see the rivet getting worn done. So either the paint is not effectively being removed, or the rivet is being damaged to the point I should replace the rivet. Obviously, I do not want to replace every rivet I want to seal. Its like a catch twenty two. Any advice? Thank you for any insight. [/QUOTE]
