So, I made a mistake with the rudder skin.
My back riviting came out nicely on the skins, except for one rivet. I didn't have them back rivet plate quite in the correct spot and it messed up the rivet.
I was able to drill out the rivet and replace it, but now the replaced rivet is sitting high. The rivet it flush in the hole, but the area around the rivet (maybe the size of a quarter) is a bit higher than the rest of the skin.
It isn't that bad, but it is annoying me. So, my question is, should I try drilling it out and replacing it? How likely am I to make it worse, and even if I get it out, can I fix the issue.
I don't think I can really get a picture that illustrates the problem very well.
Thanks,
