I have just done a test piece on my F-86 Sabre, applying promark rivets. This showed up a problem to which I am sure many of you will be able to tell me the answer.

I am using the promark rubdown tool. In order to get the rivets to transfer from the paper to the model I had to press so hard that it leaves very obvious troughs in the model - epoxyglass over foam/veneer wing and tail. How do you get the rivets etc to transfer to the model without having to rub so hard that it damages the surface? Temp at the time was 19C. Does warming the model a little with a heat gun/hairdryer help the rivets to stick and come off the paper more easily?
