Just wondering the best method for covering cowl hinge rivets.  I don't want a high buildup so I'm thinking about one layer of glass topped with resin/ flox or glass fibers for better sanding.  Or should I skip the glass and just go with a sand able product. I've been using 2 part Fiber-Fil mixed with acetone with good results for pinholes and overall feathering but need something with a little higher buildup without going extreme.  What have your experiences been for something like this?

I'm using UV Smoothprime.  Fills and sands great.  I really hate to 

spend all that money to spray the stuff on and sand most of it off!!!

Best practice would be a layer of very light cloth over the rivet line.  Something like ACS P/N 1080-50 would be ideal.  Works over the window joints too.

Presuming I have adequately set the rivets, they will be in a slight depression and I've used micro balloons and resin. Works well and sands well.
