Im doing plywood (1/16 birch) leading edges on the Center section and will be doing on both lower wings also. (Hope to not have to uncover the uppers right now so they wont get plywood leading edges now)
I have the 1/16 plywood cut to size for the center section. (Figured Id try small first!). My questions are
1) Ill use T-88. What thickener is preferred to add to it on the ribs?
2) how long do i soak the plywood before I form to Center section? (In just warm water? Nothing added to water?) Ill be doing this in a heated building.
I think I have the rest figured out but was curious on a thickener to help keep the T-88 on the ribs as its pretty runny. Ill squeegee T-88 on the inside of the plywood. Use straps and 1x2s to keep the plywood in shape while it dries.
