[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 490696, member: 27114"] It's very difficult to seal a rivet - or any other leak - from the inside. Water pressure from outside tends to lift the patch away from the surface. Far better is to prep the outside of the hull and seal it there. Smooth the stuff you're using for less drag - I'm not familiar with Gluvit, but used 5200. Water pressure pushes the patch against the hull and it seals far better. [/QUOTE]
