Copper pop rivets against aluminum skin
Mathematically speaking copper and aluminum have a strong electrolysis reaction. But I am putting wood paneling in, and considering using copper rivets just got a different look.

I’m wondering if anybody has a prolonged experience with copper on aluminum, that can comment whether actual experience is better/worse than the theoretical corrosion conflict.

If they don’t get wet why would there be any corrosion?

Humidity. Throw a new penny on the kitchen table and see how long it stays that way.
