My riveted rubrail is coming off. I just want to take all of it out. I once remember a few guys here who have done that.
In the transom, I noticed that there is a 1/8" gap in the fiberglass that the rubrail is covering. I thought about glassing that gap with some fiberglass mat and resin and then sanding it after it dries. Along the side of the boat, the partially removed rubrail reveals a slightly rough seam on the fiberglass. I was thinking of just sanding that smooth.
I also need to fill in the holes where the rivets are now. Again, fiberglass mat and resin first came to mind.
Any thoughts from people who have done this? Thanks in advance.
