750 Cruzer wing

I am having an issue with rivets on the wing. I clecoed it all together, drilled everything to size...#20. Then I took is all apart for deburring and clean up. Now when I reinstalled the skins, I'm finding that most rivets slip right in but a few will not go in completely...even using my rivet gun to apply pressure to them.

Ideas?

    When I run into that, the first thing I do is to re-install the cleco, remove it, and try again. If that doesn't work I run the original, correct sized bit through the hole. I am assuming that your alignment is minor (no quarter moons showing in the hole).

      When you chase the hole with the correct size bit again, do you need to worry about deburring again?

        Thanks guys! I talked to Roger as well. Chase the hole and don't worry about deburring in this situation.
