Would like to take credit for this idea but I got it from a fellow on GSC,(ge_rik) they are 1/2 round flat backed acrylic beads 2mm in size and after gluing to a surface make nice look rivet heads. Bought 1000 for $1.00 free shipping off evilbay. You can also purchase rhinestone/gem picker pencils for a couple of $ which uses wax to stick the bead on for placement. Have been using Mirce model air plane rivets and they are great for placement, but they are flat and don’t show well after paint so I have been placing a drop of super glue on top of each one which is spasmodic at best and is hard to get the drops all the same so I’m going to try theses next time, Bill

Hey, that’s an idea worth remembering!

Bill,

I’ve been using these types for years.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3mm-1380-Pcs-Ivory-Pearls-Gems-Self-Adhesive-Sticker-on-crystal-strip/182408489440?epid=866540804&hash=item2a7864a9e0:g:5ikAAOSw4shX47ue

They come evenly spaced and self adhesive, once glued down a sharp scalpel will remove the small piece of spacing plastic.

They are slightly larger.

It’s hard to see but I assume they are flat on 1 side, the self sticking is a nice fetcher, do you us one of these to set them with?
