Here's the procedure for the aft end of a slot:
This wasn't a tear, but it was dented badly enough that I wanted to reinforce it.

Cut the repair plate down as indicated in the drawing earlier in this thread and deburr the edges.

Align the plate with the slot, tape it down, match drill one corner and install a cleco.

Drill the opposite corner, install another cleco, then drill the remaining holes.

As with the leading edge patch, mark the outline of the plate, pull the clecos, deburr the holes, bond-prep the surfaces, apply Hysol, pull the rivets and clean up the squeeze-out.
