[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 231438, member: 7076"] I can grind the rivet flat from the inside, but they are under the stickers on the outside of the boat. I was hoping to keep from damaging them too badly. I had been thinking that I could grind the inside flat, cut the outside sticker around the rivet and then use a nailset to drive it out. However when I grind the rivet flat, the edges disappear, and it becomes really difficult to find where to drive. I may try to reveal the edges using a bit of oil. I received the 635 epoxy yesterday, so I can get started sealing this weekend. I'm sure it's going to take a while to dry, as the temps have dropped quite a bit. Hopefully today I can cut out the main deck and then clean up all of the dust. I need to give myself some space to work. [/QUOTE]
