Sheeting on Foam Wing Repair?
I have an ARF wing that has some areas where the sheeting is not glued to the foam. I was thinking of injecting some Gorilla Glue under the sheeting in these areas. Is that the right way to do it? Would it be advisable to have "weep holes" so that any extra glue could escape when expanding rather than trying to push up the sheeting?

if you have the shucks from the cores you can use the gorilla glue but weight the shucks down on a flat surface as the glue foams as it cures and will cause the balsa to lift even more.i have used pva glue or slow drying 30 minute or more epoxy.

I have injected gorilla glue using a syringe. works well. Without the shucks, I'd just make sure there is some weight over the area. Use some waxed paper betwen the balso and the weight. The gorilla glue may come back out thru the hole or thru other cracks in the balsa
