re: Patching small holes and leaky rivets in an aluminum watercraft

Are the rivets real loose? Leaks all over or in a couple of places?

Rivets are not loose. It leaks out from under 2 ribs in the canoe.

Also, the skeg is what has the holes on it. the two pieces that make up the walls of the canoe meet there and there is a strip that joins them. The holes are on that. I've never seen any water come out of them, but I would like to take care of it to prevent any future problems.

have you tried any of the 3m stuff? 5200, 4200, 4000 etc...

I've looked into it and was researching it. I might want something that is aluminum-based so that it will last and be as resilient as the boat itself. I do realize I am then getting into work that I can't do from the parking lot. Maybe.
