Question for the fiberglass gurus...
I need to build up the front outboard edges of the cowling inlets on the bottom half a fair amount (about an inch). In order to make a more solid connection between the existing cowling edge and the area I am adding I am considering the following:
- cut a couple of slits along the edge to be built up perpindicular to the edge
- glass in to those slits short pieces of cut up hinge pin so that they protrude up into the area to added
- build up the area with cloth and epoxy/flox mixture
- sand even
Does this sound like it would help the new section grip and stay put?
Thanks,
