Hi Everyone,
I finally started using my pneumatic squeezer, and i have my first bad rivet. I managed to drill out the AN426AD4-7 but left some scratches around the countersunk hole.
Any advice on how i should clean up this scratched up hole? Given all the care we take to remove all machine marks and scratches, it seems like i should try something.
At this point, I figured i would:
- drill the hole using the same #30 drill but circle the hole a bit to clean up the edges.
- run the countersink again to clean up the flared edges
- respray with primer
- retry the rivet
Any advice would be appreciated!
