Guys,
See if I understand this correctly. I need to slit the end of the wing tip
and then slide the "2 ply flat layup" in the split wing tip... Then glue in,
chopped fiber mix, etc.
Will the chopped fiber work by itself. Guess the concern is it's such a narrow
point that it'll easily be broken off without the cloth base?
Thanks in advance. I'm going to lay up the strip but wait on a reply to slitting
the wing tip before going forward.

I assume you are trying to lengthen your wingtip trailing edge? Works
great. Just be sure the slit is straight along the trailing edge and try to
use a cutter which will leave the gap the exact thickness of the layup. I
used a piece of trimming from the edge flange of the wingtip that fits under
the skin rather than a new lay-up.
