I am in the process of repairing a Riveted Tank which id 55 years old. Tank shell and bottom plates are in good shape but there are few areas in the bottom to Shell connection that is leaking.
There ia no possibility of re-riveting as riveting equipment and expertise is not available in Sri Lanka.
Is there any other techninique we can use in this situation. We are planning to use SIGM "novaguard" paint at 1000 micron thickness over the entire rivet line so as to farm a barrier against leaks. Will this work.
Thank you
