I am using 3/32” Cherry Max countersunk rivets to attach small anchor plates to the back of my skins for attaching access cover plates.  Occasionally a rivet stem will break off above the factory head of the rivet.  I’m not sure but I think the stem may be pulling further into the shop head of the rivet than needed.  Is there any way to prevent this?  Do I need to use a small washer on the shop head side?  

Thanks,

For some reason the cherry max flush rivets are prone to this.  I have 

hundreds of them on my Sonex and at least 20 ended up this way.  Most of 

them can be fix by simply tapping in the protruding piece with a hammer 

and nailset.
