Very good presentation….especially for some who has never used rivets before….like me. Thanks

Make sure that the total material thickness is inside the designed “grip range” of your blind rivets. High quality hand ‘pop riveters’ save on hand fatigue: i.e. POP or Jet. A rivet’s centre should never be closer to the edge of the material than 1 1/2 times the rivet’s diameter. Buy drill bits designed specifically for aluminum, when working with aluminum. Be careful to only remove the burr and not go deep into the parent material. When de-burring long edges, wear cut resistant gloves. Be aware of your downward force when setting the rivet, as you can create a deformation. The automatic centre punch shown is my favourite and is adjustable in force applied to avoid dimples. I like to use Vise-Grip sheet metal tongs to hold the two pieces in position prior to when I start drilling (I put some masking tape on the jaw edges to eliminate marring, and test the clamping pressure on some scraps prior).

Keep in mind that during building, even if using a pneumatic rivet puller, sometimes you'll still need the hand puller at times. (get into places pneumatic tool can't fit)

Any issues with galvanic corrosion due to using SS rivets in aluminum sheet metal? I Imagine it's a non-issue with the fastener being the most noble of the two metals.

Good question…not without the presence of an electrolyte solution…outdoors near the beach might be a problem in some cases or spending lots of time on the ramp getting rained on. Much less of an issue with hangared aircraft.

They do not use SS rivets for fittings on aluminum sailboat spars, for this very reason. In a marine environment, SS rivets come loose over time. The aluminum around it will just turn to powder. Any corrosion like that should be obvious on pre-flight though, unless you do something silly like ignore it and paint over it repeatedly. Aluminum rivets are not strong enough. So the alternative of choice on yachts is monel. It lasts for decades, even on salt water. Probably so do SS rivets on hangared aircraft. I'm sure the correct type of rivet is specified in the manual. I think there are also anti corrosion agents you can apply to "fix" the issue, should you want to build an aircraft that will last at an outdoor tie-down. But even that is less durable than monel. You could probably build a seaplane with that stuff.

where did you find your corner rivet puller tool, and by what name was it called? trying to search for them and only found one so far on Aircraft Tool and Supply.

I guess my original comment didn't make the "cut". This probably won't either. Long story short: Not all "Pop" brand rivets are cheap crap. They make high tech rivets suitable for kitplanes.

No argument there. SS cherry rivets I’m using are high quality rivets. CherryMax are even stronger.
