I trimmed the flap too much by mistake, which produced an unsighlty gap between the aileron and the flap. I extended the flap flange by laying up two layers of bid from the inside while holding the shape with a sheet of flashing aluminum, and one more ply on the outside. It turned out better than I had expected. I trimmed the flap carefully the second time, doing it in small steps to make sure I don't cut too much. It is very easy to over-trim because you need to remove the flap from the hinges each time.
