Last night I had better luck with the riveting. I used some heavy tape over the head of the rivet for protection, however the snap soc looks like they might be very useful. I riveted in shorter bursts and that seemed to help while holding the tungsten bar more loosely. I lowered the psi to 40ish and removed the regulator at the gun. You guys are awesome, I'll contribute as I learn, thanks!

Default try these

Snap-Soc caps on the end of the rivet set really helped me with the -4 rivets. Greatly reduces the number and severity of the smileys when you find it hard to get the set perfectly perpendicular.

I've always used a piece of black Gorilla Tape. It's cheap.
