I was back riveting the stiffeners to my rudder skin. I didnt realize the edge of my back riveting plate was not under the rivet. The edge of the back rivet plate was about 1/16" away from the rivet. When I applied pressure to the rivet gun, it pushed the edge of the back plate into the skin and the rivet gun creased the stiffener. I wish the pics were better but the creases are raised about a fingernail's thickness. Is this something that is cosmetic or do I need to order new skin and stiffener?
