Elevator tip fit up

I'm fitting the fiberglass tips to the elevators

I'm wondering if I should shave the face of the lead counterweight and then run a layer or two of glass cloth over the face to close the forward side of the fiberglass tip.

Or should I just "glue" the tip to the outside edge of the lead weightwith resin, file the face flush and then use some filler to make it look nice.

I wanted to make my tips removable so that I could adjust balance after painting with washers on a bolt / nutplate within the tip...

I cut my lead counterweight back about 1/16" with a router bit in my dremel, rounded the corners, taped the aluminum then sprayed the lead with PVA. I also tapered the ends of the fiberglass tip...

I then glassed over the lead and back onto the fiberglass and trimmed and sanded the new counterweight cover once cured. They came out pretty good...

Glad to see I am at the same spot on my project. I have the same question. I was considering just coating the lead with epoxy and blending with the outside of the wingtip.
