Brief Description:  Rivet Stiffeners

Let the primer dry overnight and then set up to back rivet the stiffeners. Used the C-frame with a flat set in the lower mount, 12 inch back rivet tool in the gun. Set inlet pressure at 35 pounds for the AD3-3 rivets. This arrangement worked very well for the rivets. Rivets set nicely and I could use one hand on the gun, one to hold the stiffeners flush while setting the first couple of rivets. Did not set rivets right in a row, but skipped up and down the stiffener to ensure even set of stiffeners on the skin. The small flat set in the lower mount left no marks at all on the outer skin. Only one bad rivet in both skins, and that was one I did with a squeezer. Successful drill out and replace.
