Is there a preferred or alternate choice to pop rivets (we hope)? Something like epoxy that has been proven to work?

The complet e details with product info are in the archives. The RV was hangered in CT and flown on a regular basis through out the year over nine years - No cra cks and no change in the seal. Hope this helps - Keep at it - it's really worth the effort!
