While notching the Horizontal Stabilator Fairings, a small area of gelcoat adjacent to the fiberglass flange cracked and flaked off leaving a chip all the way down to the glass cloth. I also uncovered some voids in the gelcoat in the trailing edge of the fairing after sanding down the factory seam.
Being new to fiberglass, I?m wondering if these defects need to be addressed now - and if so, how. Or whether surface defects like these will be filled and resolved in the normal process when prepping the aircraft for paint.
