I'm new to the world of bucking rivets. I have completed the tool box practice kit and half of the other and have a few questions.
Are both sides of the hole de-burred?
When using Avery's rivet gauges, which is more important, diameter of the shop end head, or depth? When I get the correct diameter the shop end is a little to long, when driven more the head diameter gets to big for the gauge to fit.
When bucking rivets on dimpled skins how can depth of the shop end be measured?
I noticed when cleco'ing the clecos leave small scratches is this normal?
Lastly, once bucked the A end is the rivets appear discolored or marred, are they later buffed or cleaned prior to painting?
Sorry if some of these sound dumb, just want to get this thing right.
