[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 483272, member: 15636"] Well Joe, [u]not the answer you want to hear[/u] ... but [i]enough pressure to form a good mushroom shape [/i]about 1.5X the diameter of the rivet tail you're using in one good burst. So ... start LOW on the pressure, maybe 50#s, [u]and build up[/u]. That's why I recommend that one finds test pieces or a convenient spot on the hull where one can't screw up (but if one did, it's above the waterline and in a place easily accessible to drill it out and start over) as you need to find out what works best for YOU! My value is higher than that, but I hesitate to give you or anyone, my real value ... as your setup & tooling could be quite different than mine. [/QUOTE]
