I achieved to complete my first part the VS Smile
However I have one little issue along the middle rib I have some rough
marks on the skin now. I belief they are from the rough edge of the
bucking bar (I grinded them now to have smooth edges).

Here is the picture
http://www.wellenzohn.net/VerticalStabilizer/_vs_16.jpg you see the
marks below the rivets.

Best Regards

I would think that a when you go to final finish the VS a scotch bright
pad would clean up those rough marks on the skin just fine.

From the picture that you sent, the marks are on the manufactured side of
the rivet. Were you using the bucking bar on that side? If not, I'm not

sure how the bucking bar could be causing this issue. One of the things
that I use to protect the skins on the outside is to put rivet tape on
every rivet that I shoot. I know this isn't necessary but it does help
protect the skin a little.

Congrats! I finished mine last month and it felt great. I'm now finishing
off the trim tabs.

If scotchbrite pad on an orbital sander won't work I sometimes (lightly)
sand the skin with 180 grit sandpaper to remove any small imperfections.
Then use the scotchbrite pad by hand and prime. be very careful not to
remove to much though.

I put a line of tape over all the rivets that I shoot with a mushroom heard
from the outside. It almost always comes out without scratches. Be careful
not to miss the rivet due to the tape - big dents! I know this to be true .

I am not quite sure how you did that, unless you are using the bucking bar
on the wrong side. Use the rivet set that is in the rivet gun on the side
where the manufactured rivet head is, and use the bucking bar on the side
where you are making the shop head. When you use a bucking bar or steel
plate on the manufactured head, you are back riveting, which on the VS might
be difficult to do, actually! Let me know if this does not make sense to
you. Know matter what, those marks are not bad. You ought to see the
dents, some would call them deep craters, in my VS.
