Re: [VAL] Hoo, boy! RE: 1956 Caravanner Skin Care
Hi Tom,
Don't know for sure if you know what you're talking about. The replacement
rivets I use (I'm having a senior moment and can't remember the name) have a
rubber gasket and there's no need for vulkem or any other seal. Of course,
you can do what you want, but . . .
You buy the kind of rivet that is needed for the purpose. Of course, you
can't do the buck rivet thing that Airstream did unless you remove the
inner skin. However, the pull rivets I use work just fine and seal against
moisture. If the hole is worn, just use a larger rivet! :)
