I am a first time builder. Started riveting the top skin on tonight after putting in the first 10 rivets I started checking my performance. I found that the skin is bent in at the rib there is no noticeable dents anywhere. Also I didn't feel that I was pushing hard at all.
First time trying to post an image so I hope this works.
The above image is just to show how I laid an aluminum bar against the skin.
See the gap behind the bar where the rivets are. Is this normal should I be concerned? Am I pushing too hard on the rivet gun? Or just being too fussy.
The above image is just to show that when I moved the bar over a rib that had not been riveted there is no gap at all.
Thanks in advance any and all help will be appreciated.
