Alright...... all was going great in the garage when I flipped the RV-10 VS over and began riveting the second half of the skin with my off hand running the gun. I had some bad form and managed to put about (6) small but noticeable dents in the VS skin at different rivets from not holding the gun perfectly flat when driving the rivets. I am sure they are not a structural problem but they are most certainly at eye level in a prominent place once the airplane is finished. Are there any good fillers out there for a problem like this or is it best just to replace the skin and hope for better results the next time around with the rivet gun? I have lots of experience with Bondo and know it is NOT the right stuff for this job so experience others have with aircraft specific products would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim
