Default Sickle Rebuild

Greetings fellow Pattern Flyers

I have a question for the people that may have seen a fiberglass plane that has a thin layer of what looks like green foam on outside and the paint layer is on top of this.

I have a Sickle and have one that was crashed and I would like to put the crashed one back together as a backup plane. As I am gluing the parts together I have noticed that there is this thin layer of green foam like material on the outside of the fiberglass body and the paint layer is put on over this.

Can anyone tell me what this layer is????

There are pieces missing and I will need to patch over the areas, but Iam not sure what I am patching over and if it will bond strong enough.

Any help here is great appreciated.

John
