drill the proper size hole, put the rivet in the gun, stick it through the hole and pull once, twice, until it snaps off

Re: pop ribet gun
Pull slowly and hold gun straight to hole and rivet.
Trying to pop rivets/ribets in at an angle doesn't work very well.

Re: pop ribet gun
Are you putting a backing washer on them?

Thanks guys for your reply. I take it that the hole has to be the exact same size as the rivet and a backing washer must be used.
