Greetings:

Found no answer to this in Matronics archieves.

While dimpling the Elev Skin accidently punched a hole and made a dimple about 1/8" from the desired location where the Skin Stiffener SURFACE MEETS THE SKIN. (Stiffener was previously drilled / dimpled.) I "gently' flattened the misplaced dimple with minimum thinning of the Skin - very slight dimple remains. Then dimpled the desired rivet hole. The 2 dimples (desired and the flattened undesired dimple) slightly over lap at their outer edges. Took a #49 drill and drilled the undesired dimple hole to relieve MOST of the Skin cracking at the hole edges.

Question: Any suggestion on how to prevent possible "future" cracking of the Skin where the undesired dimple is ?? Use RTV to fill the hole from the Bottom Side and Super Fil to cosmetically fill in the Top Side of the Skin ?? (Do not believe RTV can be painted over - otherwise would use RTV on both sides ??)

Appreciate suggestions, Garey
