So in a recent bout of productive riveting I managed to make a very tiny dent (two actually) due to poor placement of the bucking bar.
I don't have a picture but you can probably imagine what I'm talking about. Ever so slightly held the bucking bar untrue to the skin and this caused it to buck once against the raw skin. Leaving a small outward dent. It's really minor.
But dang it! it bothers me.. haha
So, one suggestion from a fellow that has build planes near me was to just knock a dent the other way and fill it with (I forget the name of the stuff, but its like bondo..)
Is this the best method or has anyone had luck with some other method of removing very small dents?
