Has anybody used an Edge rolling tool on the wing skins ( I bought one from
Avery)?

Should we roll the edges before dimpling the rivet holes?

All 4 edges or just the 2 longer ones?

I would definitely roll the edges before dimpling. I rolled the skins that
overlapped another one. Not sure if I rolled the forward edge that butts up
to the leading edge skin, but a little couldn't hurt.

Hi Jef,

I would only roll the edges which go on the spar. The trailing edges
of the skins don't need to be rolled, and certainly not the sides. I
would roll before dimpling for sure.

The only edge to roll are those that overlap. I only rolled the upper skin
where they overlap. The skin on the spar that butts up against the tank
skin or leading edge skin does not need to be rolled.

John,

While you are right, the butt joints don't need to be rolled, they sure look
good when you do. I feel it gives the edge a little stiffness that it
wouldn't otherwise have and makes a more nearly straight joint. It worked
for me anyway.

The tank skin tends to get a little "puffy" between the hold down screws and
rolling the edge helps to reduce that and improves the appearance. I rolled
the tank skins, empennage leading edge skins and fuse skins where they
overlap and liked the result. I'm doing it again on my RV-10.
