RIVET TAPE! One tiny roll will last your whole build! When using an impact driver the tape will help hold undriven rivets and really improve the appearance of your driven heads. One little cut of tape will last for many, many rivets providing your work area is clean. I still have a lot left on my first roll after building an RV-7. Really meant for flush rivets, a little bit of blue painters tape is still probably better for the universal heads for that little bit of extra grip that helps stop the hop and a smile, and/or frown.
