<p class="p1"></p> Question about how to repair damagetag:zenith.aero,2014-07-26:2606393:Topic:3702522014-07-26T15:11:39.171ZJon Reddickhttps://zenith.aero/profile/JonReddick
<p>Much to my chagrin, as I lowered the fuselage off of the table that was supporting the tail and onto its gear for the first time, the rear side skin of my XL snagged something on the table which left a bend and small crack. The longeron wasn't damaged beyond a slight scuff that can be buffed out, but the skin definitely needs some sort of repair. I don't like the thought of a patch on a brand new airplane, but can't afford the time and money necessary to replace the entire panel. How…</p>

I don't like the thought of a patch on a brand new airplane, but can't afford the time and money necessary to replace the entire panel. How would you fix this? </p>
<p>The photos below show the damage and then a better perspective on the size and location in the second photo. the crack is about a quarter of an inch long at the very edge. </p> Poor scratchbuilder's bead rollertag:zenith.aero,2012-11-14:2606393:Topic:2487202012-11-14T01:59:47.978ZGlenn Andressenhttps://zenith.aero/profile/GlennAndressen

<p> </p>
<p>I used some wardrobe door rollers and made up a couple of hardwood discs simply by cutting them out of hardwood and sanding them on a bench sander to match the large female roller. Then it was just a matter of devising a method to squeeze the material between the two rollers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So instead of waiting a week for a roller to come in the mail, the job is done and I can move on to the next stage.</p>
