Hi everyone,
I've been working on the canopy skirt for my RV-8. I glassed the two halves together at the back and got the surface prepped. I had a friend of mine with a body shop paint the inside so I could rivet it to the canopy and canopy frame. While clecoing the skirt to the frame tonight I saw a crack at the back where the two halves had been glassed together. The inside of the skirt is now painted, and I'm wondering what would be the best way to repair the crack. It is full thickness at the top. I imagine I should stop drill the crack, but what are your suggestions after that? Will I need to add layers of glass over the crack? I've included a picture of the crack below. Thanks for any advice.
