Sanding Gluvit around rivets?

[xltom]

I just applied the last coat of gluvit on my boat!! After weeks of sanding I finally got the stuff applied. Now I'll have to sand some more but,

Is there a better way to sand around rivets than a piece of sandpaper? I was thinking a soft wire brush would get in there better..has any one here tried anything different? I also have a bunch of drips(gluvit) to deal with so I'd take any advice on those as well.

After all this sanding gluvit is done, I'd like to wipe the boat down again with vinegar solution. Will the mild acid react with cured gluvit? Thanks guys...I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm getting excited!!! Lookout trout, here I come.

Re: Sanding Gluvit around rivets?

Just minutes ago I also finished applying my second coat of Gluvit. I used a small, stiff but fairly soft brass-bristled brush to rough up the previous layer of Gluvit. I'm not going to bother with the drips because most of them will be covered by the floor. I doubt that vinegar will hurt fully cured Gluvit.

Just make sure you paint it to protect it from UV; I waited too long and the small part that was exposed to the sun got brittle and chipped off.
