Reply to: Does salt water use corrode the rivets in sails?

[quote=erice]alloy corrodes and hardens in all environments i seem to remember finding some dodgy looking heads on my 5.2 head? plate when i bought the boat (nacra seem to have center-peened? mine which left a tiny, raised, easy to corrode ring) so they got drilled and replacing with new solids and flattened with a sledge hammer as backplate and medium hammer as penner? aim to get the correct swell in 3-5 hits, too few hits and you risk bashing them flat/weak, too many hits and you risk hardening/weakening them, (former 747 sheet metal worker;o)[/quote]
