Fibreglass wing question
 

Hello,

I am new here to RCU, and the jet building in general, and have sucessfully managed to fibreglass the wing (balsa over foam wing) and all other wood areas. Unfortunately what I didn't do was follow the instructions of a friend who told me to lightly sand the wing down, and I undortunately sanded through some areas of the glass. What is the best way to fix this? Should I re-glass the wing, just resin the wing with something like finishing resin, or just continue and prime etc. Also, is West System a good resin to glass a wing with? And is West System here in Australia exactly the same as in the US (anyone know)? Apparently the company in Australia purchased the formula for the resin and still call it West System, but I would like to know if anyone has tried both.

just reglass the areas you sanded through overlapping about 1 to 2 inches,use the same cloth and resin you used the first time,then lightly sand the area and fether it in.primer should hide it afterwards
