Yet another did I ruin this:
About 3/4 of the way through dimpling the flanges of the 915 stiffeners for the rudder I noticed that the female die was making an ever so slight impression in the crease of the bend on the stiffener. The pictures of the internal surface of the flange exaggerate (due to light reflection) the "impression" made by the side of the female die. On the reverse side you can see and feel (albeit ever so slight) the protrusion. I do have reduced diameter dies but did not think to use them or check the clearance before I started whacking away on the C-Frame. What is the consensus?
