Need advice on a minor incident

George, I edited your original posting to make the photos smaller so that they can be seen easier.

I believe the patch may be made of the UL6000 while the tapes are UL600 (thinner). I would see no reason the thinner UL600 tape would not suffice. My SS7 is covered in UL600 but all the tapes they send are of the UL600. This is all speculation though. I only have the web site to reference. You could place a call to Lars or Paul of Better aircraft Fabric and they will inform you of all you need to know.

Quick and easy patch. Use vinyl sign material. Sign shops have a vinyl that is self adhesive and many people use for lettering on our planes. If you are friendly with any shop they will probably be able to give you a few scraps that will match your colors. Cut small dollies slightly larger than the blemish using pinking shears and apply, no glue, no paint, no mess. Monitor it when you do your preflight. Quick and easy peasy. Good Luck.

I like Norm,s suggestion. I think what I would try first is to use the small iron used over some sheet Teflon to prevent any sticking to smooth any bunching of the fsbric/adhesive/coatings where the scratches sre.

Thanks! I couldn't exactly figure out how to do that.

Alright, I think I've got a plan together on the skin. What (if anything) should I do about the flapperon?

If you have sheet metal pliers or any pliers without teeth that will mar the aluminum, I would say just try to squeeze to as close as flat as you can and be on your way.

Thanks. Will do. Wasn't sure if that was safe or if it could.weaken the already damaged aluminum but I'm going to trust you on this.

I would feel fine doing this. If you were really worried you could rivet a aluminum doubler over the damaged area but I think that would be over kill.

I agree. There's no need for that much work on damage that's no bigger than 1 inch in diameter
