[GreenKeys] ribbon reversing

[Ken Schwieker]

My 2cents worth. Have not tried it but seems like it would also work 
and mimic a rivet. Punch a small hole in the ribbon, apply a drop of 
epoxy (JB quick weld should work well here, 5 min) to each side of 
the hole and when epoxy was starting to set up, compress it to the 
correct thickness with your wet fingers.
