 |
|
I was cruising through channels last night and saw something on the Discovery Channel that showed an airplane manufacturer riveting wings.
They used a piece of masking tape over the head of their rivet gun. Why? Is it the "feel"? Does it make it more "non-slip"? Is it standard practice for everybody else in the world?

It reduces scratching. One piece of tape is good for only a few rivets before it wears through.

Protects the skin a little from banging marks; might also keep it from
slipping. Works fine.

Jon;
I also used just regular scotch tape. I used it on the factory head
side to hold the rivets in instead of rivet tape. Just fold over a edge
so you can easily get it back off. Works just as good as the expensive
rivet tape. Helps keep the scratches off the aluminum. Also, I used to
polish the head of the rivet set on the scotch brite wheel. It also
helps to cut down on scratches/poc marks.

It also ends "smilies" on round head rivets. I find clear packaging tape to
work best for both standard and flush rivet sets. Masking tape work for
standard rivets but needs to be changed out more often.
