Still in the Toolkit, so not too exciting yet...but it's a "safe" place to mess up.
1) I learned that you should clamp your work...it like to move RAPIDLY if you don't.
2) I learned to hold the rivet gun firmly against the rivet so it doesn't go chattering down the front of the toolbox..
However some questions..
I match drilled, deburred, re-cleco'd and still most of those rivets didn't quite fit. I found myself lightly re-drilling the holes and/or giving the rivets a few gentle taps with the rivet gun to get them in. The latter seems more convenient while possibly being more risky if it doesn't "go in" from the taps and instead starts compressing.
Any suggestions? Is this normal?
