Sealing leaky rivets - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

a dab off goop on the inside part of the rivet would be fine.

when drilling holes or installing stuff on the kayak put a dab of goop down then put the rivet in.

I get a little water from hatch seel and rivet holes. but its never more than a cups worth for a long days fishing. doesnt bug me much.

If I had this problem, I would drill out the rivets, apply the goop and re-rivet. That would solve the problem for good.
