Rivet Heads - Protection
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:02 pm
Warren,
Are you saying that you dimpled enf to get an avex rivet head to not stick up
above the wing skin? (and then filled, etc) This seems like a deep dimple,
esp considering face of the rivet head that touches the skin is flat instead
of tapered.
And, on those areas you countersunk, I don't get the part about shaving the
heads -- I wouldn't think you could remove much of the head without ruining
the rivet's abilty to hold parts together.
Can you clarify on these two questions?
-Ben
-> You can probably stop there but as I had dimpled or countersunk the
-> entire wing I next
-> Shaved flush heads in CS areas
-> filled over dimple with same filler, sanded.
-> This was followed by a thin layer of automotive glaze, sanded
-> My entire wing is like glass with the exception of the bottom tank skin.
-> I was careful to not have to sand the alum for fear of thinning,
-> especially the thin wing skin.
-> Don't ask how many extra hours as I don't even want to know!
