There was a Super 8 (at) Copperstate this weekend, That not only all of his
fiberglass to metal seams glassed over but also all of his rivets
filled. his paint job (Candy Apple Green) and graphics were STELLAR!. I
can't imagine what it cost him in either time or $'s but it reflected
the attention and detail that the rest of the plane showed. I don't know
if he took any awards as I hear the Judges don't like to see filled
rivets. Unfortunately I was so wrapped up in conversation w/ John Cox,
that I neglected to get any pictures of it. But it was Beautiful.

Seems to me filling rivet holes is contrary to building a metal plane. Lets
be proud of our rivets! Leave the filling of holes to the smoothy glass
ships.

The only place to cover the rivets with glass is when the rivets are in the
glass. For example if you do not put a layer of glass over the rivet heads
on the sides of the cowl hinges you will see them popping through the paint
in a couple hundred hours.
