I don't know what I am doing wrong but almost all of my rivets I drive are  turning BLUE and I am using the ones Zenith Supplied. Is anyone else having this  problem?

Never seen that - are you sure they aren't they explosive bolts?

No, nor have I ever heard of a rivet turning blue. The act of setting a rivet 

of this kind generates a fair amount of heat internal to the rivet, which 

makes me wonder if this is some odd sort of chemical reaction.



Did the rivet turn blue immediately after you set it, or did it wait a while - 

perhaps the same length of time it would take the rivet to cool? It's probably 

a silly question, but did you soak or coat the rivet with anything, or store 

them near a reactive chemical?

Jeff, after chewing on this a bit, I have suggestion/offer. I bunged up a few 

rivets while setting them, and have some extras. None of mine turned blue.



If you're in the CONUS, I could mail you a few of mine to try. If you set them 

and they turn blue, there's something in the process you're using. If they 

don't, there's some difference in the rivets, and you might want to think about 

getting some more rivets.

I should clarify - I bought a bunch more rivets.
