RV-8 skin thicknesses

N478RV

I'm New Here
What are the skin thicknesses on an RV-8? I'm finally wanting to start my project (been sitting for years...). But before I start, I would like to practice riveting on scrap. Are all the skins 2024-T3? Any help from you experts is greatly appreciated

There are also some sandwiches that are 3 layers thick ….
