They said to add 18 ounce of glass, I thing 16 to 18 inches out from the base of the wing. You could use 2 9oz layups or 6 layups of 3 oz glass. This was not to fix a crack but to keep one from starting. I used 3 oz glass so I cousd feather it out better.

From: "mjb777" Thanks Clarke, I finished reading through all the newsletters last night and came across a more elaborate article and drawing that Aero Designs published. Guess I should have finished the mountain of reading first!! Do you have 900lb or 870lb spars? Matt. -------- Pulsar 1 TD Kit. Captain B777. Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
