Dave,
Don't want to cause anymore anxiety cause there seems to be a lot going around the list right now.... But ......if you used fiberglass on the leading edge on top of dacron you may have caused a problem...dacron fabric is used as a peel ply for fiberglass....check your Aircraft Spruce book or call Ceconite....From personal experience it peels real easy....the resin will not go through the weave....if you did it after the dac-proofer you may be OK ???? uncharted waters ?

Guess you didn't read my post carefully. The fiberglass is underneath the fabric. Also, I didn't lay up the fiberglass - it is commercially laid up material. The fabric is attached as per the plans. One piece on top, and one piece on the bottom from the LE to the TE over the full length of the wing. Instead of rib stitching, the standard Kolb riveting to the ribs is used.
