There is a nice kit if you have any leaking rivets on you're boat:

Or go to your local boat shop that sale aluminium boat,they have (seal) pop rivet. just use 3m 5200 sealer et voila the job is done. Alain

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

Last year I used the green epoxy sticks form cabelas, and I think I later saw the same stuff at the Old Fishing Hole in Morrisville, VT. I cleaned the area, heated up the rivet with a small butane torch and rubbed the epoxy around it sealing the rivet. It worked very well.

I did have a missing rivet that I repaired by cleaning up the hole with a drill bit, tapped it, filled it with grey aluminum repair, and quickly threaded (with lock tite applied) a stainless machine screw into it. I sealed it over with the green epoxy just to finish er off.

This frog rivet kit looks like it could work fine too.
