Top skin edge...roll it?

[SHIPCHIEF]

I rolled the edge after dimpling. I used that round aluminum thing with the 2 nylon rollers, and I carefully and lightly rolled between each dimple, and slightly outboard over them. It worked OK, though I wish I had dimpled it after rolling.

Are we talking about rolling the edge, rolling the skin in a slip roll, or both?

I thought the suggestion of rolling was referring to rolling the sheet in a slip roll.

Just edge rolling the sheetmetal . If I had a slip-roll in my shop I would use it on this piece , not realy necessary but would be nice .
It also helps to cleco the left side first and work the curve over to the baggage door side .

We rolled our edges with a hand made tool. Turned out really nice everywhere. Even did some rolling after dimpling, just had to be more careful. I do believe that riveting will make everything sit down nicely though.
