[QUOTE="bassNbricks, post: 494767, member: 32336"] hi again! so i recently got a leaky jon boat. i bought a rivet gun and some aluminum rivets. 3/16x3/8 aluminum blind rivets. i attempted to rivet two pieces of the boat together. when i did it didnt make a solid connection. in fact one of the two holes blew out. i tried two other times once was some what ok but loose (the metal wasn't all the way flat I think). the other blew out a hole again. clearly im doing something wrong. are my rivets not long enough? are the two pieces of metal just not cleaned up enough?(I didn't bothering cleaning them) the rivets showed in the mail yesterday and I wanted to try them.) is the aluminum boat too old and soft? lastly i double checked my order on amazon to double check the rivets i bought. apparently theyre aluminum blind rivets with a steel madrel. would that be why? any and all help is much apreciated [/QUOTE]
