When riveting the top skins on my wings, I managed to put couple of small bucking bar dings in the spar flange beside some of the awkward to reach rivets (e.g. near the ribs etc). This was despite the fact that I taped with duct tape the edges of my already rounded tungsten bucking bar (the typical 4x1x5/8" bar). I blended these out then primed them after consulting Van's, however as you can understand, I'm nervous as anything about riveting the bottom skins to the mainspar flange (given that I couldn't get the top right), as any such ding is going to be a pain in the rear to blend out blind. I'm thinking that perhaps I should tape around the rivets with duct tape as additional protection before I put the skins in place, then tear it off after I have riveted. Any thoughts or suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

Tom.
