Pop Rivets

[gus]

Why use sealed rivets? I'm using ordinary rivets. I'm dipping them in epoxy, putting them in the hole and crimping then putting epoxy on the heads. These are to fill screw holes some butthole previous owner drilled in the roof

Sealed rivets are stronger.

They should always be used for structural work.

Open rivets will loosen in heavy vibration. (Airplanes and buses)

     You can also get straight, direct pressure to seat the head of the rivet against the external surface you're riveting on.  A hand-held riveter will sometimes rock and fail to press the head into place -- this results in weak pressure on the riveted point.

Donald is making a joke but I shoot a lot of rivets with my Hilti and a .22  charge, expensive  but the neighbors don't hang around the law does drive by often

that could become a niche market cottage industry...developing hand loads specifically for Eagle or MCI OR GM.....

The last 200 rivets took just under 30 minutes to dip in Sikaflex and set with the air riveter.  It was half the effort and twice the speed of the hand tool.  Thanks for the advice everyone!    I can't wait for the next shipment of 2000 rivets!
