WTF?

RIVET GUN YOU JUST SQUEEZE IT LIKE 3 TIMES JOBS A GOOD UN,

ALWAYS PUT YOU HAND/FINGERS AROUNF THE TIP SO WHEN THE RIVET SNAPS YOU DONT SLIP AND SCRATCH THE TYGA BADGE!

ps capslock trolling is fun!

not its just riveted on mate, practice on a couple of pieces of plastic, or just drill a hole in something metal stick it in and try, as the rivit pin snaps it will jolt so youll see why i said keep you hand on the nozzle,

it maybe worth a small sploge of silicon in the middle of the new badge to prevent it rattling/vibrating.

Any decent semi synth will do, i mostly use castrol and never had problems. Same with coolent, any bike based stuff will do.
