Default RE: 162

Ok, I've been working on the left wing panel for the last few days, This is kind of like a re-run

I will post a few pics of how I make up my wing skins. MAybe this will be helpfull to someone. I learned this from Jack Devine's website years ago.

I don't trim my sheets. Most of the time you can turn the bow the same way and get a tight joint. Use masking tape to hold the sheets together. Flip the sheet over and hang them off the edge of the table. Add the glue to the joint that's open and move it up one sheet. As you do this the sheets on the table will lye flat, squezzing the excess glue out. Them wipe the excess off with a towel. Let it sit for a few hours and you have wing skins.

A good friend of mine gave me a great tip. Sand the sheet joints smooth on the table, because it's easier and you get better results than sanding after it's applied.


Last couple of pics is of the wing assembled. The table it's on is 11 feet long.
Later,
Kelly
