I knew a guy a while back who could get the perforated tapes from NC machines. He would lay the tapes down on his plane, bursh epoxy over them, and pull the tape off, leaving a row of very uniform glue blobs. It looked very rivety. Someone could make a case about scale spacing if there are supposed to be 127 rivets in a row and the tape method only makes 87. Depends on how carefully you intend to document.
