Post by: Antdogg714 on December 14, 2013, 08:20:41 PM
Heys guys it been a awhile since i been on. I keep having to rivet back my rub mail and it keeps popping off. What is the best way to keep it high in tight, should i use silicone in the holes before i rivet it back.

remove it, flll the holes with resin and some filler.  redrill and rivet it back on.  silicone will not hold it back on.

I would use a mix resin with cabosil till it's a penutbutter ,then fill all the holes with that. Easy and wouldn't take more than 30 minutes.

i suppose that would work.  i personally would use epoxy with a 404 filler, its rediculously strong.  however I would imagine that their Six10 epoxy caulking gun tubes would work just fine as well.

ive used the Six10 west systems before and its easy to work with.  its not a TON of work, but its the only way to keep it from popping off again.

If you have the room and a helper you can have them hold a stainless washer in place on the inside of the hull while you rivet it.
