I must say that the TE sheeting is extremely delicate and easily broken. i found myself adding glue to fix some cracks i created. the other thing that got me is when i was sanding the bottom, prepping for the bottom skin, my table was not 100% clean and i made lots of marks in the top skin. This mean i will need to do lots of filling and sanding. it does not take much to dent the skins at all.
ray, looking real good!
you probably already know this, but before doing any filling and sanding of dings and holes first steam all of the sheeted areas. steaming will help raise small dents and dings back to the level of the surrounding balsa. then all you need to do is use a raking light to find the other problem areas. it'll save you a lot of unnecessary filling and sanding.
