Chet, without seeing a pic of your work, you are the only one that can make a determination
on whether the smileys are OK or not. But as was mentioned, tape
helps reduce the chances of creating them. Another option I have learned about
is using Snap-Socs. They work great, are color coded for different size rivets,
and can be found at various places. I got mine at Brown Tool.

I did. One of the last processes is to buck the AN470 rivets on the front spar--the
ones that hold the center-most ribs (fore and aft) to the front spar itself
and the two extruded aluminum angle fittings. The rivets look good. I located
the manufactured heads directly over the extruded aluminum angle fittings.
When I finished, I noticed the rivet set had not been absolutely straight, which
resulted in smiles that encircle about 120 degrees of the extruded aluminum
angle fittings around the rivets. The depth is perhaps 10/1,000 of an inch.
I know how important the structural integrity of the extruded fittings are. The
smiles have very smooth edges. Is this okay? Thanks, Chet

Thanks guys for your responses. I just wanted to make sure I explained that the
smiles are in the aluminum of the angle brackets that hold the horiz stab to
the fuse, and not on the rivet heads. Do I need to hollow grind these? Will this
reduce the strength of these critical parts? Thanks, Chet
