Brief Description:  Tip for Flush Riveting

I had some issues with markings / blemishes from my flush rivet set transferring to the skin while settin flush rivets. I purchased another flush set, but the same results. The marks seen below do not have any "texture" to them when you run your finger over them nor do they wash off. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I did not see similar markings on other peoples build logs.

Regardless, I got a good tip from vans. They said to put a piece of masking tape over the flush rivet set. I did that and it provided good results... no more marring. The tape needs to be replaced often but I think it's worth it.

I suppose it really doesn't matter as it is only cosmetic for now; never notice after paint.
