Garey, if the skin is not already riveted on you could try slightly countersinking both sides of the hole, then using your rivet cutter to cut off a length of rivet shank a few gnat's whiskers longer than the thickness of the skin and using a back-riveting plate and mushroom or back-riveting set to drive the stub in the hole - not too enthusiastically - you don't want to stretch the skin. A little work with a sanding pad or scotchbrite and the repair will be hardly noticed. John Kent EI-DIY. "What material have you Builders used to fill in a couple of unwanted holes in the Skin, where a rivet can NOT be placed to plug the hole ???? Is Super-Fil a possible solution ????

I have done similar to what John says on a 3/32" hole in 0.032 skin. Counte r sunk both sides and then set a 3/32" rivet. Once set=2C I used a RIVET SH AVER to cut away the excess. Done correctly=2C it is almost impossible to tell that a repair has been made. Gary A. Sobek "My Sanity" RV-6 N157GS O-320 Hartzell=2C 2=2C201+ Flying Hours So.

You can go one better and set a NAS 1097 reduced head rivet in a smaller countersunk hole, if it's not already dimpled full size.
