Filling Pop type rivets

Post by AlanR » Thu Jan 24, 2008 9:48 am

Hi,
I shall shortly be taking delivery of a Sportcruiser kit and I am debating the pro's and con's of filling the pop rivet heads.

I would like others views on this is:- Is it good idea to stop water ingress and from a cosmetic viewpoint?...or is it a waste of time?

Also what is it recomended to fill them with?..micro-balloons or what.

Thanks,

Alan.

Didn't quite answer the question though...Is it worth doing?
