REFLECTOR: "Bubbles" on Alan Shaw wings

[Al Gietzen]

Larry;

I had some delaminated areas on my Wingo wings as well.  I drilled holes ( I
guess about 1/8" dia. or less, to fit the end of the little plastic syringe)
and injected a slurry of epoxy and micro balloons.  Depending on the size of
the area, you'll want to drill holes every couple of inches or so to be sure
the slurry spreads throughout the area.  Put weights on, or clamp, to make
sure the area is flat.  Let cure.

Mike Watson et al,

I just took my wings out of storage. I see i have a few areas of 
delamination or "bubbles".  I remember you (Mike) has similar areas & had 
them repaired. What is involved with the repair? (Just drill holes, fill 
with epoxy  weights or cut off & re-skin?)
