Default RE: Riveting Solution

Burned in ones work well for a primered and glass surface. Tried a bit in a dremel once but it wandered way to much. I use a tip from the iron that is turned down to the correct outer DIA and then drill a hole in the center to complete the tool. this leaves a small ring in the surface. For raised rivets, you can go the glue drop route, which I am sure we all have used. They are not the same size for each and everyone. The dimple after drying looks bad. I have used thick CA out of a insulin syringe, I think they are better than white glue as they dry with no dimple. But still various sizes. the best I have found is to make them out of plastic sheet and glue them on. They are ALL the same size, no dimples and you can line up each row perfectly straight. You can make different sizes to use on each plane.
