Re: [VACList] Rivets

The Cherry Max rivets are about the very strongest blind rivet.  These must
be pulled with a special 'cherry max gun' if they are anything but the very
smallest diameter in size.  You must dip them in a sealant *before* pulling
the rivet otherwise they may leak.  A sealed cherry max rivet properly
installed is hard to beat.  You may have to grind the head a tiny bit if the
pin protrudes from the head.
