A fella who repairs boats told me about marine blind rivets. I understand they are designed to seal under water.

Has anyone ever used these in Airstream applications? I consider the Olympic rivets more decorative than structural. Those little spider legs just don't look very strong. I suppose the Olympic rivets have a bigger grip range, but if a leg gets hung up, the mandrel breaks inside the rivet. Kind of a pain.
Maybe a marine blind rivet would work in applications that you don't see much, like roof vents? I don't understand how these rivets work.
