REFLECTOR: Wing Delamination question

[Alex Balic]

Hi Larry-

Drill a couple of 1/16 vent holes at the upper edge of the bubble, then a
couple of fill holes at the bottom edge- fill with normal laminating resin
using a syringe w/flat needle (like used for ink jet cartridge re-filling)-
tape over the holes to prevent leakage after you are done.  You can warm the
resin with heat gun/lamp to improve flow. If void is a blister, then you
will need to sand after cure to re-contour.

 This might be a second post... I apologize if so. I received some sort of
"Bounce" Notification on my first send....Thanks.

 

Wise collective,

 

It's been a while since I have seen this topic, so i wanted to be sure of
the "Fix"  process;

I am building a XL/RG and I have fast build wings, I just found what I
consider somewhat of a large de-lamination in the upper wing surface....a
single bubble about 3 inches wide and 4 to 5 inches in length, but almost
round. 

 

If I remember correctly... drill a couple of 1/8th inch holes in the bubble
and inject epoxy, add weight and allow to cure. Am I forgetting or missing
anything? Should there be any micro mixed in the epoxy or should it be
clear?   

 

Thanks in advance for you're help and input.
