Default Wing Repair to One Side--Rebalance?

I have to make repairs to a three section wing (middle & left and right sections) where the right and middle sections are joined. It will require using some aircraft plywood and epoxy, which will add weight to the right side of the wing. What is the recommended approach to address the weight issue? It would appear that my choices (besides making the repairs as light as possible) are to remove some weight from the right side or add weight to the left side. If I have to add weight to the left side, what is the best way to do it? A very small weight at the tip, or add more weight on the left side at the corresponding location where the change was made on the right side?

Thanks in advance,
