Let me fix my errors lest I further confuse the issue.

Dennis. . . such tips are surely encouraged for this exchange. Thank
you. This one is a bit confusing. You speak of a "molded wing" in the
first sentence, but later speak of lifting the "foam" to the skin. I
admit to ignorance of the construction of the Emerald wing, but is it
both molded and with a foam core? I thought they were mutually
exclusive. I really don't follow what you are saying. Did you mean
"bagged" wing? I understand about delaminations occurring in those,
but then assume strictly a foam safe CA would be called for or fixed
with epoxy. Please further clarify this tip.

At our club meeting last night, I was showing an Emerald that had a
little delamination on the molded wing. When asking the best way to
fix it, Martin Doney passed on a tip he had learned. It's a small
thing but it really works great. He said to take a tee pin and bend
the tip 90 degrees about 1/8 inch from the end. Poke a hole to drip
in some CA. After the CA wicks in, just rotate the pin and use it
like a hook to lift up the foam to the skin while the CA cures.
These are the little tips that make repairs a little easier, what's
your little tip?
I'll collect them and post them on our website for all.
