I just bought a Jon boat to fish the Sac River in. The inside looked pretty good but when I got it home and turned it upside down so it would turn water I saw that the rivets had been covered with what looked like that gimmicky black spray gunk they advertise on TV. Worse, it appeared to have been doped prior to that with some orange/brown latex feeling stuff. That said, it looks "leaky" to me after all. I'm thinking that I might brush it all clean with an angle grinder brush and then wipe it good with carb cleaner or Goo-gone or something similar. After I get it back to just a leaky old Jon boat with clean rivets, is there a good coating to use on the rivet areas before I repaint the whole thing? Thanks, gm
