This is a "noob" question but after checking the archives to no avail I decided to see what y'all have done.
I just ordered the RV-10 tail feathers and while I'm waiting for them to arrive I decided to practice on the tool box kit.
I bought the Avery dimpler/riveter with the 22" throat and mounted it on my bench. It works really well except that it leaves a round imprint around the dimpled hole. It isn't a depression, just mars the metal a bit. I've tried hitting the dimpler with less force, softer more easier, etc. Can you dimple thru the plastic covering?
Any suggestions on how to avoid this?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
