RE: Europa-List: bonding cockpit module to hull

[craig bastin <craigb@onthenet.com.au>]

If this is on a Trigear, I would go with the remove and Bid option, given
you will be doing a lot more glassing
for your gear sockets anyway, If you can get to any voids through the spar
holes then you could glass the other side as well
just to be sure you have it. Mind the fuel tank when your grinding though.

  Can anyone help with this?


  I have a number of (what appear to be) voids in the adhesive bonding the
cockpit module to the outer skin especially in the two aft joints  (the one
at the rear face of the fuel tank and the one aft of that).


  I have tried injecting redux but I cant seem to make that workany hints?


  The option I thought of was to grind the whole flange down to the skin and
then re-construct the join with a bid +/- 45 lay up.


  Any ideas?  Anyone resolve the same issue?


  Thanks
