Rivets are for joining two pieces, not filing holes. The backup washer always goes on the weaker material side of the material to resist tear through. Putting a backup washer under the head adds no strength to the connection if the weaker material is on the far side.

We use wide flange rivets with a washer on the backside of the rivet so that there is a flange on both sides of the (in my case) fiberglass pieces.

I keep hearing the voice of AvE in my head saying "Focus you f***!" haha.

I want to fasten a strip of vinyl fabric to my rolling duffel bag to protect the bottom part of the zipper from being damaged by the pavement when I set it down. The part that I need to fasten the vinyl strip to is corrugated plastic on the inside of the bag, covered by a sheet of thin plastic on the outside of the bag. What type of fastener should I use? Would you suggest I use a backup washer on the inner side of the bag to prevent the rivet from falling through?

great video. I've been watching a few of your videos and, as I'm learning to use rivets, these videos have been super helpful ... thanks!

Excellent idea man go forward like this ideas 👍

I have never bought a rivet before and want to rivet two 1/4 inch thick aluminum plates together (instead of welding)for a project but do not understand where to find the right size rivet or how to ask for the right rivet and riveter could you please point me in the right direction? maybe a part number and a website that understands the part number.

I need to rivet a piece of vyinal siding to another piece of siding from underneath, on the lip. I'm attaching an extra piece of siding over a repaired dryer vent hole that has been patched, what rivet do you suggest? This is the only reason I need to use rivets. Someone else told me they make rivet screws? I only need two.

Is there a way to make the back side crush as wide as the front face?

I'm looking for a rivit that also looks good on the back side. This is for an aluminum kitchen tool with moving parts like a scissors. What would you suggest?

Thanks again and again

Can you use any washer with same I.D. or do you have to only use in the category "backup washers" because they are more precise ?

I accidentally made the hole a lot bigger taking out a rivet. Now I'm in the process of having to put in a new one. will a rivet not hold correctly if the hole is slightly bigger? or how big is too big?

I wonder if a washer is applied in situations where the rivet is under torque stress typical of the part's application, to keep it from twisting in the hole when it's needed for stationary leverage .. to keep heat of friction and wear of the rivet to a minimum. Kind of like a locking washer to keep a screw from working its way out of a piece under vibration or occasional twisting during use. Not so much for stationary applications unless fortifying bonding of a weaker material to a stronger one.

what does the back side of the rivet look like ? If it stand off away from a gutter do you trim them or leave raised?

Bien détaillé dans la vidéo, super bien

How can I add a washer before the rear end of the rivet that expands. I am planning riveting a 1.7 mm metal strip onto a 5 mm hollow pipe and I fear that the expanding rivet end will not be wide enough and tear through the thin pipe.

Thank you again....love your vids

Cleaner look wide flange I use the washer for fabrics or thin Metals.

Can you hammer the opposite side down if you have access to it? Can you put a washer on the other side and rivet/hammer it down if you have access to it?

Subscribed! Great info, thanks.

Please,give details video on removing stuck rivet pin

How do I install a rivet on a part that has to be able to move, ie, a carburetor part that has to move and flex?

Thanks, your video was very Helpful. 🇹🇹👍

Would have liked to see the side profile to examine the thickness and depth of the rivet with the washer through the materials. Only got to see the opposite side for a few seconds.

you can put a washer on the other side of the work works great

I need rivets that are flushed/flat on both sides.. What should I look for?

Thanks

Can you show a double flush rivet. Flush on both sides? I have an application where rivet is visible from both sides.

Can you use them on the backside

I prefer the wide flange, like you said, no need to use the washer, unless you need the extra support.

Which is the strongest rivete

Most of your videos are good and informative, but this one is ... lacking. 1. If you going to set thick rivets, use a hydraulic or pneumatic tool, do not gouge the rivet like you did with large flange rivet. 2. You can use washer on "wrong" side of the rivet to prevent that type of gouging. Aircraft grade rivets, cherrymax, come with a washer behind the rivet for that exact purpose. 3. if you are tempted to add a washer under the flange, then most likely you will also need one on the back side, if you have access to it. 4. If you are using a rivet trying to "pull" materials together, most likely you want to use washer on the blind side. 5. If the only rivets you have are too long, you can use washers to build up thickness of material to leave 1.5x the diameter of the rivet sticking out. 1.5 de-burr the holes. Makes your work look more professional and people will pay more attention. Popping rivets is easy. Learning "little secrets" like #2 above is the reason why people look at videos like this one.

P is correct ... i just watched this and shook my head . ill refrain from my true thoughts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple reasons for using a washer would be you are out on the sticks or in a hurry and have to work with what you've got.

This guy sounds like he's falling asleep and forgetting what he's su Pose to say.

5:00 i swear his hands are as weak as a toddlers lol

Sound is very low

The washer goes on the back side

the wide flange looks better.

Don't twist the rivet gun before the pop, just keep it straight geez

Можно меньше болтавни!!! Это очень раздражает!!!

Stick to selling.

Dude needs to work out he seems weak!!

While you can use a backup washer as show in the video its far more commonly used on the back side when there is access and the rivet is weaker and can pull through. Thats why its called a BACKUP WASHER . You didn't mention washer diameter, proper hole size and thickness options. You weakened the the install on the large flange rivet by wiggling the tool to break off the stud. Next time use a real pop rivet tool and a real man to squeeze it. Maybe you should think out and plan your videos before shooting instead of shooting from the hip
