Brief Description:  Finishing up rudder (7-10)

I finished the rivets on the top rib, then moved back to the trail edge. I used the Cleveland tool with the angled squeezer to initially set all the rivets, but not all the way. I first set all the rivets halfway starting in the middle and working my way outward (out 10, then back 5 and so for like recommended in chapter 5. I tired to set a couple all the way with the squeezer, but it ended up just denting the skin…probably because my pro-seal was too thick. I then proceeded to use the mushroom head on the rivet run for the shop side of the rivet and the backing plate for the factory head side. The factory head side came out really nice, but the shop head side has is a little wavy at each rivet…again I think because the pro-seal was too thick and never flattened out. I remember the mixture being a lot thinner before…maybe because it was so cold in the garage. Anyway, trail edge is complete and overall, it is nice and straight.
