too bad I couldn't loan you my foot operated sledge hammer powered dimpler. it makes skin dimpling go real fast since both hands are free to manipulate the skins.

I used a squeezer on nearly every rivet on the tai.

This foot-operated, 9 inch throat monster (CP-351A) along with a more conventional CP-214C with a selection of yokes made it possible for me to squeeze almost all the rivets on the tail.

I only had to use the C-frame for 3 or 4 dimples on the rudder, maybe 8 places on the HS and VS. The rest I did quickly and easily using "Mongo". Well worth the money. I see them all the time on E-bay for about $100, give or take.
