REFLECTOR: Fastbuild Wing Delaminations

[gibbons]

You need to put two small holes in it, one for air to leave and the
other to inject the epoxy into it. Put the holes on opposite sides of
the void so the epoxy will flow to the vent hole

Certainly is Hiroo. Some inject and then leave a broad weight on top to
ensure bonding.

We were applying and sanding the "Smooth UV Primer" and discovered that
our fast build wing we got in 1999 has developed series of delamination
bubbles.  Most are about 1 inch in diameter but one is about 6 inch.
Most are located on top of the wing the near the leading-edge.

 

I have read here that the standard repair procedure is to drill a hole
on top of the bubble and inject them with epoxy, then sand smooth.  Is
that still the commonly accepted practice?
