[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 434900, member: 15636"] If I may offer some constructive suggestions in the [i]spirit of continuous improvement[/i] ... but the rivet tail shown was deformed a tad too much and it looks like you don't have the correct impact head for brazier rivets. They are only $10-$13 here: https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41248 Use of a tool that doesn't fully impart the bucking force to the tail could cause you to over-work the rivet. You might eventually 'get there', but you you could be damaging the sealing joint between the head and tail, if not work hardening the rivet to where it won't last as long (as in many, many years) of service life as one properly set.
