what is the correct way to buck rivets by hand? (no air tools)

[jtrom]

Do you hit the head of the rivet (outside of boat) with a ball peen hammer or do you use the hammer on the "formed head" (inside of boat)...of course I know a bucking bar backs it up, just not sure which side you hit with hammer.........
