Hello Again Everyone:
I have discovered another dilema today. I glued (tank sealant) my ribs and trailing edge wedge to the elevators yesterday. Today I noticed that the skin bulges somewhat (barely noticeable) where the foam ribs are. I know I trimmed them exactly to the line in the plans, and I thought that I didn't put enough tank sealant on them at the time. I would like anyone's opinion on how I can remedy this. I know it is not a structural defect, but I would like to minimize seen errors. My wife suggested I smoosh (technical term) them down, which doesn't sound like a bad idea if I know that I can do it without messing it up. Any RV-10/9 guys have the same problem?
Thanks,
Joe Hutchison
