I'm restoring a 1936 OT Yankee and had to remove some planking in the stem area, in order to repair the stems. Noticed that the original nails are steel and the heads are rusted. As you know, the stems
on this model canoe are very thin. Should I pop the heads on the steel nails and what should I use in their place for both original and new planking in this area?
Thank you,
