Sealing top rivets
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:03 am
A local paint specialist recommended filling the rivets on the top
surfaces with something like Hysol (http://tinyurl.com/sy4xs) before
painting them, to help preclude moisture collecting in the tops of the
pulled rivets. We are on the Pacific coast here, where salty fog and
other ocean moisture regularly moves inland off the water, but
obviously, filling thousands of rivets on the top surfaces would be a
lot of work.
Does anyone else have experience doing this? Pros and cons, thoughts and
opinions?
