[NSRCA-discussion] Fuselage repairs

[Ryan Smith]

>From what Dave Guerin has told me, John, CA will not attack the core foam
that's utilized in the Temptation's construction. If they are centralized
cracks, I'd wick CA in there and then go back over it with some glass cloth.

Quick question: What should I use to repair some small cracks in my
Temptation fuselage? I also need to re-secure the wing tube on one side.
This is the plane that flew through one of the trees at the end of the
runway. Most of the damage is confined to the left wing root area. As long
as it ends up structurally sound, I should be able to repair the finish
easily and the plane will look fine. I know that I can't use standard CA
because of the composite structure (foam) but what are my alternatives? Will
small amounts of epoxy be OK or should I use something else? TIA.
