[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 246181, member: 6657"] I suspect your boat is a leaker and the paint was applied in a half-assed effort to stop leaks... it never works for long if it works at all. Instead of rebucking rivets, you should replace them. A leaking rivet is already weakened and will leak again if rebucked. It only takes about a minute longer to drill the old rivet out. I would strip all the old paint off and then check for leaks and replace all bad rivets, then prime and paint the boat. This will be a job well done and you shouldn't have to worry about leaks or messing up your new paint job trying to fix them. [/QUOTE]
