While back riveting a stiffener to the right elevator skin, I unfortunately hit the rivet while it was off the backriveting plate, creating a rather nasty crease in the skin from where the edge of the plate hit the skin.
I am not bothered by the aesthetics, and I will not start repairing anything given that it will be easier just to have Van's ship me a new skin.
But I would like to have some expert opinion on whether I have created a crease where a micro crack will start forming, or should just ignore it and build on?
Thanks, Peter
