Default wing repair how?

Put a hole in the top covering of r/h side wing,what is the covering,and how do i fix this hole?any help apreciated.After a sucsesfull maiden flight and two flights after brought plane home and in the process of packing it away knocked a 3/8 drive ratchet off of work bench and it landed on the right hand side of the wing i had proped up against the bench pre hanging it up
Now i have a hole in the top covering and two (2) busted ribs. This is a arf thunder tiger trainer 60 and I have no idea on how to make this repair , do I have to recover the whole wing after repairing the ribs or will a simple patch over the afected area sufice, the covering looks like a contact adhesive thin plastic , what n where do you get this stuf from. Please help as after getting the plane in the air and landing ok have realy got the bug to get it back up again and to have it grounded by a stupid mistake in the shed rather than a crash is very frustrating , not to say a crash would be ok but just a bit easier to live with than a acident in the shed.
Regards mick
