Thanks for looking in guys and for all of your kind words and comments, greatly appreciated. 
@ Malc - It's not a glue Malc, it's a liquid plastic that remains liquid until you decide you want to harden it, which is done using a small Ultra Violet light which is supplied with the product.
I just squeeze a small amount of the liquid plastic out of the pen type dispenser into a small receptacle then use a needle in a pin vice to place small rivet sized drops where I want them, then when ready just shine the UV light on the drops which will make them glow and set after about 4-5 seconds. The beauty is that being drops of plastic and not glue, if you make a mistake you can just scrape a rivet off with your finger nail and redo it! Once cured they will stay put unless you physically try to remove them and a layer of primer/paint over the top will make them permanent. It's a very useful product for modellers though not designed for them specifically - it has many uses!
Here's a link to the British company that produces 'Bondic':

Hope that helps?

Thanks Kev, that's a great idea for rivets. Must give it a go. We have that stuff here but it's called "sticks in seconds".
