Default Man it's nice bucking rivets without ProSeal!

I took a break from tank building to complete the right leading edge and found that riveting without the black stuff is so easy it's rediculous. I have found that for some reason just having that slick snotty stuff tends to make the rivets more difficult to shoot really good ones. Seems the technique has to be more precise. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just confused by MEK fumes

On another note, I have found Rick's fey sealing method to be absolutely the easiest and cleanest way there is. Using his method does make shooting the rivets much easier for some reason. Someone 'splain it to me!
