How do you put something on the inside if you cant get to it? Like if you
are outside and you need to put that steel chunk on the inside?
I see at one point you mention that the rivet diameter should typically be
three time the material thickness. Your illustration should reflect this,
at least momentarily when you say as much.
Is a bucker bar what we call in the UK a “reaction” bar?
Thanks so much for this very thoroughly explained video. Students in A&P
schools seem to have a lot of tech info thrown at them in class and then
off to shop-sink or swim. Before you know it, the current training phase is
over and onto something entirely different, whether you’ve absorbed it or
not. Your presentation was orderly,calm, very professional, and easy to
understand.
I hope that you consider making more videos with layout, rivet pitch, and
spacing. This would’ve been great for preparing for testing with a DME
years ago. But again, great video!!!!!!
very informative! Thank you for this great video, it really cleared up the
process for me.

MIDDLE FINGER ON THE TRIGGER WHEN YOU RIVET
I saw a bike frame that had many rivets for decoration and those were not
pop rivets but they were this type that requiers a bucket bar to be used –
and here comes my question. Is there a way riveting to be done without a
bucket bar since there is no way of puttin any inside the tube of the bike
frame. The rivets were the ones with “half spere head” don’t know the exact
name and still can’t find out how did they do it. Riveting was done after
the whole frame was completed because I saw photos while drilling the holes
but no info on how it riveting was done.
Thank you for posting this video. I have searched for the spec that
controls the installation of rivets and can not find it. I know that these
rivets have been install pretty much the same for the past 70 years but I
would think some kind of document has to exist.

Thank,is very detail
Good afternoon Riveteer, The fella giving this presentation, Is there a
contact to speak to him? Even their Web Site has no contact info. please
let me know if there’s some form of contact besides on here…. thank you
very good and helpful video thanks !!
thanks very much for the information. I´m a plane builder, and this
information is very usefull!!
Thanks, Roy – glad you liked it. (from Vancouver, Canada)
No, silicone is capable of corroding aluminum. PRC is a man-made rubber
product, used for sealing surfaces against moistures, oils, greases,
vapour, gasses, etc. PRC has been in the aircraft industry for decades. PRC
is a 2-part polysulfide, which requires you to mix both parts before using.
İs there any one can explain me what is the bucking bar and how to use ?
VERY VERY PRO
thank you for this video.
I was Aircraft Structural Maint’ in the Air Force as well. 6 years.
There are rivet guns and air hammers. air Hammers don’t work too well
(little control). Ones that are most common is a 3x or 4x guns.
PRC is what we normally used on helicopters. Usually a B-2 product, which
allowed two hours working time. Brands like FlameMaster were common, but I
can’t remember the exact part number. PR 890 was another product.
hey , rogerbahakel, i got you by at least 15 years, n in the army and it
has not changed one bit since then, only i used 1/8 inch and as i remember
it was a number 40 drill, so you are right on,even if i am an old fogie we
share a common background.
im soory for asking many ? is this PRC seal is the same as expoci here in
my country they may have it but under diferent name
Thank u . U give more skill for shooting and paking .
Great video! Thanks.
Bucking bars (also called “Dolly’s”) are merely the block of steel against
which the rivet is set, or bucked. The steel should be a high quality
alloy, case hardened, with at least one smooth surface. The bucking bars
can be home made, or purchased from a aviation tool supplier such as
USATCO. Bucking bars can be any shape or size, and sometimes use alternate
materials for heavier weight.
