Aluminum Rivets Repair

I realize there has been a lot of discussion on the repair of aluminum rivets on the Board, and I have read most of them. I came across a product that may be the best way to go for a lasting solution. It is call HTS-200- aluminum brazing rods from Complock Solutions, Inc. If you watch the video on this product it is amaizing how easy and strong it is to fix aluminum breaks and cracks. Maybe someone has used these rods and would like to comment on them. All the reviews I have read have been positive. Thanks.

Can you please post the link to the site/video?

Thanks

Peter

Sorry, Peter, I should have added the address.

If you look in the upper right hand corner of the page you will the video.

I have been talking to a number of guys who work on leaky boats, and it seems like there is a consensus a product called Gluvit is used more than most other options. It is a clear epoxy water sealant that can be painted on the bottom and has a 1 to 2 hour drying time.

I've used the rods in the video you have..........THEY are pretty good, but are hard to work with inverted......

If you'd like some, I have a few left, and I can send you 1 or 2.......

Like I said.....they are REALLY GOOD, and work as described, but are hard to use if you have to do any work above level.

I've had great experience with Gluvit, so I don't know about the solid rods... I know with the gluvit it fills in all depressions in the hull and around the rivets.

Thanks, Geo. I think I will try the Gluvit on the three rivets that are leaking right now, and then I will consider the rods. I want to go fishing tomorrow so I plan work on them in the morning and see how good this stuff is. I appreciate the offer and will get back with you.
