What I do is get everything setup and take the air hammer with the rivet tool installed to a scrap piece of 2x4. I set the compressor so the rivet tool just slightly dents the wood. This allows enough pressure to properly set the rivet without tearing up the head of the rivet or the aluminum of the boat. If you set your compressor too much higher than this, the rivet tool will mar up the rivet and/or the aluminum of the boat. It's best to error on the side of too little pressure versus too much. You can always bump it up as you go to find the sweet spot.</p></blockquote><p></p>
