Default 3m 77

I have removed all of the wood sheeting that has "lifted" from my wings. I have found that the bond to the sheeting is not very good. There is a bond, but not enouph to remove the foam when removing the sheeting. I would say it has the bonding of a good tape. The lifting came from the g force of hitting the weeds. The plane didn't go underwater at all. Some of the small places that lifted, I just pushed down, and it stuck. These areas seem to be the seam, where the 3" sheeting was joined before sheeting. I don't feel like re-sheeting the whole wing again. I'm just patching here and there, using sig resin glue. I'm going to use this plane as a backup to my other planes. I just finished sheeting my stinger 1.20 with the same 3m product last month. I tried to pull off the sheeting, and it didn't want to come off.
