Hello all! I just received my tools yesterday, so I set about on Van's practice kit to learn how to use them. Prior to yesterday, I've had no experience with these tools or this process, so I'm looking for some basic feedback / answers, if you would be so kind.
Here's a link to pictures of what we did, and some of our mistakes - http://rvhaslanded.blogspot.com/
Thank you for your help!!
- How much to shave off the rubber thing around the swivel flush rivet set
- Why my rivets, especially flush rivets, tend to stand out on the head end (see above?)
- How much to countersink underlying pieces (like the angle iron in this case) when putting dimpled sheet metal over it
- How much self-etching primer should be used? A mist? An opaque coat? I get the impression this was a bit heavy.
