I have found great results using 2" packaging tape to cover and protect skins while riveting. I started with a tip from Randy Debauw using the packaging tape to cover the head of the swivel headed rivet set. Then I decided to try packaging tape on the skin for holding and (setting protection), works great. Anyone doing this? I use SOLVE cleaner by SEM to wipe the skins when complete.

Paul - yes good tip.  I have used the el cheapo plastic (rather than cloth) packing tape on my flush set extensively throughout the build process with excellent results.  Started out taping rivets, but found results were just as good with the tape on the flush set.  Also works brilliantly on a bucking bar when back riveting.
 
cheers,
Ron

Clear plastic tape? how thick? (mils) How about masking tape, would that

work?

I use masking tape on my flush set. The blue type masking tape does not
last as long and the regular. I also use it on the sides of bucking
bars to prevent scratches.

The tape we use for virtually all aircraft work is

and no masking tape is not good for riveting; leaves a residue and is not
transparent.

We use clear tape (scotch tape, if nothing else is available) all the time, either when back riveting or on the rivet sets.  It works great.  Masking tape does not do as well on the sets from our experience, and it obviously won’t work well for holding the rivets in the hole unless you are back riveting on the plate because you can’t see the rivet.  We use Thinner to get the residue off.
