Help from JimSunday (12-8pm) 8 hrs |
This is my current hole deburring tool. |

Here is the hole I accidentally added to the HS skin. Looks like this is more common than I thought, I found the following at www.vansairforce.net I accidentally slipped and poked a hole with the dimple die right next to the "good" hole. Do I need to replace the skin? If you're like most RV builders, you have enough problems without hauling the devil around. It seems like a lot of people do this at least once, and generally it's not something to worry about. RVs are certainly over-engineered enough that one hole too close to an edge or to another hole isn't going to make it fly apart! If the new hole intersects the other hole (a "figure-8" hole) you can just rivet as you normally would and plan to fix the cosmetic flaw with some bondo or JB weld when you paint. If its further than that, you can fill it with an "oops" rivet (NAS1097 reduced head -- see below) and it will barely show. |
