[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427506, member: 13599"] Macro - fasteners above the waterline do not leak. if by chance they are leaking, you have more severe issues than leaking rivets ! [ATTACH type="full" alt="Leaking Rivets.jpg"]89499._xfImport[/ATTACH] question: why do you want to use aluminum pop rivets with the SS mandrel ?? I am a big fan of aluminum angle and square tubing for any kind of boat fabrication. If done correctly, 1/2" ext. plywood is an excellent choice for decks and flooring. There is no need to use solid rivets for above the waterline fasteners. pop rivets will provide adequate holding power - while the solid rivets often require two people. a big hassle if you are new to the rivet game. a short video on pop rivets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAWPo8F-gXc&t=185s it was [i]Pappy[/i] that advocates the super glue (thin or medium) to seal loose rivets. .
