[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 481328, member: 15636"] Nice boat and project! This thread here has all the links needed for rivets and rivet tools and tooling: [color=#0000FF]https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45596&p=457693&hilit=jay+cee#p457693[/color] I'd not use fiberglass resin, as it is terrible on plywood. Use epoxy like that from www.raka.com (download their free epoxy manual) or use a varnish finish like others here use, old timers. This post here has info on using epoxy and making permanent epoxy 'plugs' that any SS fasteners go through: [color=#0040FF]https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47405&p=480245[/color] For the weld, if that piece can be secured properly by a through-bolt through the new transom, you should be all set. You need to insulate any SS fastener/bolt used from the tin (or the tin will corrode due to electrolytic/galvanic reaction), by putting a thin nylon washer between the bolt head/nut and tin surface it bears against.
