Hi Folks
I'm a little late to this thread but I thought I'd add my two cents. I
noticed that with the flush set that I was also getting marks on the skin. They
weren't smileys, just a scuffing sort of mark. I was thinking that maybe my flush
set has some imperfections or something. I couldn't really see anything wrong
with it. I was about to order a new flush set when I tried using that rivet
tape that came with the Avery toolkit. Now I get no marks at all. So my VS and
the left side of the HS have the marks but the right side HS looks good.
Bummer. Nothing that paint prep won't take out. Its a shame I learn all these things
about halfway thru any process. Thanks for the tape idea whoever that was.

I too have some scuff marks. Mine are caused by the "galling" of the alclad on
the rivet set. I have used tape on the skins, no marks. Tape on the set , no
marks. However you will have to replace the tape on the set every dozen or so
rivets. I have also used some auto rubbing compound on the rivet set remove
the galling, it works but you have to polish the set every 20-30 rivets. The
bottom line is that when you are ready to paint, you will need to prep the skins
by scotchbrighting the rivet lines anyway.
