Narrative:
A mechanic helped me by shaving a rivet that I had put in a lightning strike. The shaver slipped and it cut into the skin. He said it was ok. I had the crew chief and structures crew chief look at it, and they said it was ok and did not need a repair. They had me burnish the area and alodine it. 2 inspectors agreed that was all the corrective action needed and one signed off the rivet. Same aircraft came back in for a light inspection and another junior mechanic looked at it today and he thinks the cut might be too deep for the corrective action they had me take. At the time I thought the right corrective action had been taken. I did what 5 experienced mechanics said was correct. After what the junior mechanic told me today, I do not know who is right.
