Start Riveting
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:38 pm
Well I'm finally getting the nerve to start riveting the flaps together
and have a few questions. I have readied that you use the epoxy primer
between all mating surfaces and dip the rivets in the epoxy also. Is it ok
to just use acetone to clean the surfaces and wipe with a clean cloth or do
you also have to etch the surfaces. What is the best method for measuring
out the epoxy and catalyst. I would thing you would use separate means for
each so that one does not come in contact with the other until you mix them
together. Next in dipping the rivets what type of contain is best to use
(small paper cup); when you do dip it is only the shank and not the head? Is
it advisable to corrosive proof everything with the epoxy primer? (I hope to
be on floats one day) One more thing I phone Murphy about the price increase
and was told that it was increasing by 6%; has anyone hear this or a
different number?
Thanks
