Disclaimer: This is what *I did*. You do your EXPERIMENTAL aircraft as you see fit, and assume the responsibility of what you do and how you do it.
I decided to use Sikaflex (Sika Aktivator 100, Sika Primer 209-D Black and Sikaflex-295 UV) for the doors rather than rivets.
I made a jig to hold the shape of the fiberglass stiffener out of wood. So far no rivets.
I'll use 6-32 screws and t nuts for the stall strip to avoid pull rivet action.
Here are some pictures of the process and the door installed.
Others indicated they have used Panel Bonding Adhesive MB-835
