If some idiot builder (not me of course) drilled a #40 hole in the wrong place
in an external skin, and wanted to hide the mistake, what would you suggest?
I was thinking of a filler, but was afraid it might loosen and fall out.

Dimple it and install "rivet to nowhere".
Nobody will ever notice, particularly after you paint it.

Use a rivet. Best filler around - for structure as well.

Dimple it and put a rivet in it. If you want to fill ov er that then, it should
be OK... There are plenty of us "idiot builders" out there! Some of us even built
Grand Champions!

Tom: I never did such a thing either..... I used superfill, is a two part m
ix..
once drye you sand and that is all.
-
Another thing I used,, I bought a two part,- I think is Aluminum- repai
r or Steel?
bought at Auto discount..
Mix- according to instructions,, and applied, it drys- very hard...(Alu
minum and Steel)
that does not sound right... it must be alluminum, or metal....read the lab
els.
-
It worked great in my case to smooth, depressions...
-
Another idea..

Dimple it, put a nice AN426 rivet in there and make it a "rivet to nowhere".

Thanks all. Rivet to nowhere won't work...needs to be smooth on the other side.

Bert,
Are you flying with this repair? I mean, is the person who built the plane flying
with it? [Wink] And it is holding?

Well, then, dimple it from the *inside*! :)
How flush does it need to be on the inside? You could countersink the
outside, and the bump inside would be more flush. Or you could add a
doubler, and countersink both outside *and* inside, and rivet it
double-flush.
Where is it on the airframe that the butt-end of a rivet wouldn't be
acceptable on the inside? Just curious...
