Location: Zimmerman | Have found a leaking rivet on my Lund. I do not believe I can get to it on the inside without substantial tear down. Looking for repair options/opinions. I have used pop rivets on other things, are they an option? Thanks. |

| I don't have any riveted hulls but I have heard of the Bullfrog rivet repair system being recommended by others. |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | G-flex aluminum boat repair epoxy. Get a sanding pen for auto body paint repairs, acetone, and the gflex aluminum kit. I have repaired about 12 rivets in my boat this way and they have never leaked again. All repairs from under the hull. Heat gun is recommended in the kit. It makes the difference IMO as the epoxy will draw into the rivet/hull. |

Location: Duluth | Yep, G-flex is the way to go. Have used it on dozens of riveted boats. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | For only 'a' leaking rivet, I'd get a set of small JB Weld tubes, mix a little epoxy, shine up the rivet up a bit and work it on. If you buy this G-flex kit you'll have enough to do your whole boat from the looks of it.m

| G Flex is once and done. Its worth the higher cost to me to know it's fixed for good the first time. But it's your money so make your choice. Good luck! |
