Hi Max
No but its a good idea to to have the parts primed before you install them. I dabbed a little primer one the holes with a "Q" tip for my 701 before I Squeezed them. I live near the ocean so corrosion can be a problem.

Max,
You should not have to do any treatment to the rivets before squeezing them depending on where they are being used. If you were building a fuel tank then I would suggest that you soak the rivets in MEK before usage to remove any oil so that later the tank sealant (Proseal) would stick.
