I've had good results with JB weld and Marine Tex. Use a backer plate held in place with 5200 where possible. I held mine on with duct tape while it set up.

Yup..rivets are good for them small holes ( snaps and what not ).

Alum rivets are IMHO best for your application..

Scuff and clean both sides..dab some 5200 fast cure on the shank..and pop'em n wipe'em.

Clean your riv gun with mineral sprites ..

YD.

PS. got pics of the road rash your talking about ?
