I am about to start my Proseal adventure and have a question. I plan to use the tank dies on the rib rivets, and put a bit of PS into the hole before each rivet.

What about the stiffeners? I was planning on backriveting them and would ideally pre-load them all into the skin dry, then putting a "wet" stiffener on from the inside. In this case, would I be better off with regular dimple dies since there probably won't be any Proseal in the dimple?

What did you experts do? Thanks,

Does it matter?

I bought a set of dimple dies to do the tank and found there really isn't much difference in the amount of proseal left between the skins for each die.

My reasoning is that if you make a hole the size of a marble and you fill it with a marble you have the same free/open space as you would if you filled a the size of a BB with a BB. I also had concerns about the manufactured head on the rivet leaving open space under it when shot since the head is slightly recessed.

Just use whatever you think looks best.
