Default "Rivets on Tape" info needed

Sorry Campy I had a typing error, it is Scale Skins. As an aside, I used their product a couple of times. It worked fine, although the tape is reusable only once or twice. For models requiring a lot of rivets such as the F7F I had at Top Gun last year, I found that it was actually easier to use a syringe, with different size needles and canopy glue. With a bit of practice this can be done at a rapid pace, you have the advantage of being able to produce quite a range of sizes. In addition many areas of a plane do not have symetrical rivet patterns, and the tape becomes useless. In some cases the tape will slow you down as you have to wait for a row to dry before running a cross pattern.
