In the world of aircraft design gluing the skins to aircraft 
frames is today popular, but to prevent the joints from 
running, if the glue joint for some reason fails, 
sometimes, sparsely applied rivets are used. 

Works very well, as any glued joint, when the glue gets old 
and brittle, might fail catastrophically!

Maybe that could be applied to kayaks?
