[QUOTE="catman529, post: 2735572, member: 9284"] I got back from academy with some E6000 adhesive. I walked into the store expecting to just buy a tube of 3M 5200, but then saw on the package that it did not mention use on any type of metal, only fiberglass and wood. I then got on Google on my phone and researched a bit, and couldn't find anything where someone used it successfully on aluminum - seems like you'd need to use some kind of primer. I figured I would scratch that and get the E6000... medium viscosity, so maybe it will seep in between the rivet and hull better, bonds to a lot of stuff including aluminum, waterproof, and is still flexible. Only con that I could find is that it needs to be painted over for UV protection. No problem because I will apply it all before painting the boat. I hope it holds out well because I don't want to get into replacing rivets if I can help it. I already replaced 4 rivets with bolts and that's all I hope I have to do. [/QUOTE]
