Les,
You might want to look in the archives for this topic. I did this with the
VS and the HS nose ribs.
It really holds the skins in the correct place, and helps to prevent dings
while rivetting of those ribs. I made a special bucking bar the shape of
the airfoil in this location.
The bonding of th ribs requires assembly enough to allow the skins to be in
their correct shape while the FLEXIBLE EPOXY or PRO SEAL sets.

Hi Tim
Thanks for the advice - I really didn't want to replace a skin. I was
hoping
the Bondo solution etc would be acceptable. Anyway, Kearney's First Law of
Aircraft Repair states:
"There is a high probability of incurring a major problem whenever a
smaller
problem is being repaired. Probability for the purposes of this law is
always unity".
Therefore, leaving well enough alone is always a viable solution.

PS: I find your website to be invaluable. Many thanks.
