Not as bad as the HS, but not good either


This was a result of getting tired and choosing to continue on with riveting the skin, rather than taking a break from riveting. This is called a smiley, and when they go deep enough, they can become a structural concern. Luckily these are not very deep, and some filler will take care of these small dings in the skin. This occurs when the flush rivet set in the rivet gun is not held straight up and down on the skin while bucking a rivet, and is tilted just ever so slightly while pressure is applied to the skin and the trigger is pulled. It happens in less than a blink of an eye, and really sucks when it does, especially after doing a much much better job on the entire VS skin up to this point than I did on the HS. Oh well - ya keep learning as ya go sometimes.
