I just finished riveting the leading edge ( Rv8) and put it on the spar along with
the tank. The skin on the top of the leading edge looks wavy around the rivets, like circular depressions around each rivet when a light shines on them, not creased like a smiley, just a bending of the light. The Tank looks fine. Is this just the difference between the skin thickness, .032 for the tank and .025 for the skin? I think maybe I'm being too critical and should stop shining lights on the surface but I thought I would ask if any body else has noticed this. Thanks for any input.
