My fabric around wing tip bows on top wing have dents along bow/fabric attach point. The fabric apparently sucked down to the inside edge of the bow when Polybrush dried. I did not notice problem until I applied polyspray. I wiped clean, used MEK and iron to smooth snd tighten fabric. Rebrushed, then resprayed but no luck in getting a smooth surface. Any filler that would ease the task of filling the imperfections ? I have experience with polyfiber and have never had this happen before.
I usually shape wing bows so the inside edge meets the fabric. For some reason I went for a more rounded bow tip and allowed the fabric to meet the bow surface about 3/16" passed the inside radius. Its that little area that is causing me pain.
