riveting

13 years ago

So, I've never really worked with metal before, and I'm starting my first project in which I need to rivet two pieces of .020 aluminum together. It needs to form a pretty tight bond. What kind of rivets do you guys suggest I use? Does someone have a link? Should the rivet grip range now be .040?
