Tuga,
GENERALLY........
The rivets on an airplane are "bucked". Meaning that someone on the outside is holding resistance against the flush side of the rivet and on the inside a "peanning device is being used on the rivet.
Prevost in their XL2 repair is using a flush rivet in the style of a POP rivet, so there is a hole that has to be filled, which is why they put the strip over the top of it to cover it up. The SS strip is adhered with 2 sided sticky tape.
