Yikes.

I once had to do extensive re-repairs to a glider whe
- a previous repairer had spliced in new wing skins
- during the repair he liberally "cleaned" with MEK
- the MEK went through the joint, and disolved the foam.
This glider flew for a while, and when it was involved in
another accident the skins all cracked in the areas
where they were no longer supported by the foam core.
All the replaced skin areas had to be re-spliced !

For heavens sake, if you aren't expert, don't go
messing about with solvents you heard recommended
on RAS. Someone could get hurt, maybe you.

Be safe out there !
Best Regards, Dave

Not being a composites specialist I can't comment. Just try to use something a
little less aggressive - like MEK.

Any experts out there?


That was meant to be humour...
