While dimpling the trailing edge of my RV9A rudder the pneumatic squeezer slipped. I put a dimple through the skin. Any suggestions on a fix. Click on this link to view picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w99pc3auhz9vii5/errant%20dimple.jpg?dl=0[/url]

You might be able to double-flush it.

That's right on the edge. I suggest asking Vans.
They may suggest opening the edge side of the hole and removing the dimple so the skin can sit flush to the rib or spar. Don't drill the rib or spar.

Larry makes a good point. Body filler might be all you need after smoothing the dimple with two flush sets.
