[QUOTE="ober51, post: 88451, member: 1354"] Ok, so I powerwashed and degreased today, after I flipper her over. I snapped some pictures, and boy is it ugly, lol. I need some advice on what to do with all the gunk. A lot of the rivets leak, some with no gunk, some with a lot of gunk. My questions are as follows: 1. Should I scrape off all the gunk (seems like epoxy it's very hard) and put some JB Marine Weld in its place? 2. Should I just leave the gunk and Steel Flex over it? 3. Should I take off the gunk, redo the rivets? Regardless of what I choose, I will be putting Steel Flex (it came today). I just need to know what do with the rivets. As you can see from the pictures, the person that put in new rivets put in different ones - they have holes in them. I took a picture where you can see what I am talking about. What do I do there? Do I drill those (are they pop rivets?) out and put new ones in? I would like to get this figured out by tomorrow, when I can start making some headway on the project, with sanding, putting some JB Weld in certain areas, etc. The keel is ugly, huge weld, but there's only a slow leak. I don't want to get it rewelded, it would probably be too expensive. Can I put some JB weld or just Steel Flex this portion? Please help and thanks!! [/QUOTE]
