[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 517415, member: 16767"] Your research has served you well. A proper lap patch riveted in place “wet” with 5200 will be a permanent repair. You have five separate repairs or patches that need to be fabricated & installed. If you post more pictures we can figure out what needs to happen in each situation. You might want to post several pictures of the first one you want to make, and call it repair one. Your closeup pictures are great, but you need some pictures from further away, and both sides. Are you going to install solid rivets where possible, or pop rivets everywhere. Solid rivets are preferred, but both style rivets will work fine. [/QUOTE]
