When attempting to modify my battery tray (and suffering from dehydration) I mistakenly cut through the outer skin of the fuselage.

The damage is approx 2" x 1/32nd".

Is this structural or cosmetic?

Definitely structural. Major. Pretty bad spot for such a damage.

How would the fiberglass guru's here repair the damage?

A proper repair is going to require about one square ft of multilayer
skin replacement and some practice.

Get the glider into a repair shop if you haven't done such a major
repair yet.


Best of luck

"Major ARRRRGGGHHHHH......"

Where did your text come from?
This thread showed very little.

"Prepare for sanding/grinding...... glass & resin, more sanding, Gelcoat, finishing & polish/wax......

"Ehhhh..... cover it in '150 MPH tape', placard the ASI to 149MPH and call it a day......"

Just kidding folks......
