[QUOTE="MOE, post: 280622, member: 5668"] I have some rivets that need to be replaced along with several other repairs that need to be done. But for now, I plan to get the leaks under control until my schedule clears up enough to make permanent repairs. I was thinking about using some type of silicone around the rivets. I've heard that 3M 5200 is pretty hard to remove. Should I use 3M marine silicone (without the adhesive) or use 3M 4200 which has half the adhesive that 5200 has? I want to be able to remove it when I get ready to replace the rivets and repaint, but I don't want it to fall off after a couple trips. I intend to remove the paint around the rivets prior to applying the silicone. Thanks [/QUOTE]
