| Subject: | Wing Skin Advice Needed |
Gentleman,
As I was skinning the inboard section of my starboard wing last week, I failed
to notice where the skins contact ribs 4 and 5 on the bottom side did not bond
properly.
I realized where my error was and did not have any problems with the remaining
leading edge skins.. I have the wooden skins.
I am seeking advice on the best method to get the skin to bond to these rib sections??
My original thought is to drill two holes over the voids and squeeze in the micro.
After completing that,I will tape them down properly for a good contact and
curing.
Any thoughts, words of wisdom, or guidance will, as always be valued tremendously.
Happy New Year to all of you,
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Clyde

Clyde,
How large are the areas where it is not bonded?
The problem with such a "repair" is that the surfaces would have to be
sanded before it could get a good bond, and if it is not accessible, that
is not possible. What you suggested would maybe fill the void, but not bond
properly.
The only way to fix it correctly would be to cut out the skin in the
problem area and scarf in a new piece.
But: if the area is small, I would just leave it alone (only for ribs, not
for spar), or just fill the voids.
