Some have mentioned having to repair a glass fuselage and of course one of
the problems is holding a repair patch in place inside the fuse while the
epoxy sets. Try using a super balloon (read as condom) taped to a heavy
straw. Mark the straw so you will know how deep to insert the balloons
later. Best is a one balloon inside the other (2 straws). Very lightly
wax/grease the outside balloon so the epoxy will let go. Blow up the inside
balloon a little and lay the patch on the balloons. Slide into the fuse and
blow up the outer balloon which holds the patch in place. For added holding
power you can also blow up the other balloon a little more. Let the epoxy
kick and deflate the balloons and remove. You have a perfect patch on the
INSIDE. This is also good for epoxying pushrod housings into place.
