Taped over all the rivets, sanded off the tops....
...Only to discover the reason that even after sanding the tops off and it leaving tape in the holes (which I had to tediously pick out) I was not using the best tape for the task. What you really need to be using is....
...Low-tack painter's tape. Oh well, I have plenty more rivets that will need filling, so I ordered two rolls of the right stuff. This is the right stuff.
NEXT SESSIONS:
- Fill rivets with Bondo.
- Flip to top.
