My Scarab would do it also on it aluminum rub rail, I ve used tooth picks or 16 gage wire to tighten up the holes. also use the caulk/silicone to keep em from backing out

Cheap 3M 5200
 
You can get 3M 5200 at Home Depot. Also if you never ever plan on taking those screws out ever again Loctite "Power Grab" will work.
Of the two the 5200 is easier to get the screws out at a later date.:p

hey paradox i have been trying to get hold of you did you get the boat finished i talked to you about your infinity and you could possibly take my liberator off my hands.

5200 was made by God herself..........it works and holda everything in the Universe together! Without it, there would be a breach in the space-time continuum.

I'm just going to get a new rub rail for the Nova. It has the factory one on it. Aluminum with a black rubber piece in the middle. I want to get a solid black one, which size and which one?
