| Subject: | Fiberglassing forward fuselage skin - Tip-up |
Guys,
My RV-9A has a tip-up canopy. The forward fuselage skin is a tad low in
some areas as it relates to the canopy skin. I want to match the skins
by building up with a micro micro slurry then sand to match.
I'm concerned the micro might chip or separate from the aluminum in the
future. My plan is to rough up and clean the forward canopy skin, lay
down a layer(s) of fiberglass cloth, add peel ply and let it cure.
After removing the peel-ply I'd add the epoxy/micro mixture, let it
cure, then sand to match.
Will the cloth bond the micro to the skin and keep it from chipping
away? The buildup in some areas could be a 1/16" or just a tad more.
I've tried to research the archives - it's a slow day on the website.
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks...
