Default RE: blue yak54 56

What kind of damage did the cowl receive?

I've had great success by doing the following.

- Apply painter's tape to the outer surfaces closing up all holes... ( If there is a hole or missing piece tape on wax paper over the hole ).

- Mix up 30 minute epoxy and dilute it slightly with a BIT of alchohol.

- Apply fiberglass cloth to the inside of the cowl then brush epoxy on.

- Let dry, repeat.

- Sand the outside, trim any excess fiberglass from the inside.

- Apply primer then paint.

I can usually do this whole process ( allowing for drying time ) in about 2 days, with only 30-40 minutes worth of work at max.
