What are you guys using for flush rivet sets? I've got a pretty large diameter set, and I'm having problems with it chattering, moving away from the head of the rivet and denting the skin a little on my horizontal stab. I know a lot of this is from inexperience, and my technique will improve over time.
My set doesn't have the rubber guard around the outside. Is this recommended? I'm taping up the set's face with blue painter's tape, and this seems to help a little, both in protecting the aluminum skin and reducing the "walking" tendency. Also, as a do more, I've developed a better trigger finger, so when the set does begin to move on the surface, I'm quicker to stop so the denting is minimized.
Thanks for any/ all input.
