Hey guys,

I have three areas on the right fuselage about 2-3 feet behind the lower wing trailing edge that the tape is in need of reattachment. The length is 1-2" and located on the lower former. The cover is Stits Poly Fiber and utilized butyrate dope to finish. Only the edge of the pinking seems to be affected and I would like to get that repaired before it travels further.

I spent time on the computer to find a fix via AC43.13 and other information available but would like the opinion of anyone that has done this repair.

Thanks for any input here.

Cheers, Hans
