Do you have any tips for installing Alligator® Plastic Rivet Fasteners?

Take care when using the belt punch and template to avoid embedding the steel shavings from template into the belt.
Drill straight down into the template and do not lean punch/bit against the edge of guide holes in the template.
Use an ample amount of lubricant when installing the fastener and punching the holes.
Do not fully set the first two to three rivets; allow the curling bit to warm up, then go back and finish setting them.
