you should ALWAYS counter-sink the hole a bit in gelcoat. It will help prevent it from spider-cracking

I use a hole punch in masking tape. Placed over the hole, before caulking or marine epoxy, keeps it neat.

Can you suggest or recommend a non-adhesive sealant for this application besides silicone?

I like butyl tape and have a bunch, but I've read that it doesn't like to be twisted as it would be when used with a screw-in fastener. Have you had a different experience or what would you recommend besides butyl tape as a bedding compound?

What if I wanted to use these snaps in my car the hold drapes against the windows into the plastic portion what adhesive would I use to keep the screw tight into the plastic. ?? Working with the Subaru Outback back window covering

Usually no adhesive is required when screwing the snap stud into plastic. The application here "Bedding" is used to keep water out.

Why would you use a rivet over this ?

Have you ever had to remove old bad rivet studs from a boat?

+sailnbabe Yes, I use a drill and bit that is just large enough to cut off the mushroom top of the rivet.

Thanks for the comment! You're right, it's silicone, not silicun.

the one into the wood was fine except use proper caulking, not silicone, the one into the coach roof looks dodgy af - is that a composite deck? A better idea would be to overdrill the hole and fill with epoxy, let it set sand it back then drill into the epoxy, then install your fastener into that.. then you know you wont rot your deck when it leaks and please don't use silicone.

That's probably gelcoat they were drilling in and you don't know what you're talking about regarding overdrilling and filling with epoxy? Have you actually done this? Marine mooring covers is what we do for business.. why would you want to overdrill a large hole and sand it?
