Can you see all the damage now? GFS

Yes, most of the damage is exposed. I am planning on removing part of the front inner liner to access and repair the damage to the nose completely. After the inner liner is removed, I will be able to fix the glass properly with some CSM, then 10 oz, then make it tougher than originally with a health dose of 1708 biaxial fiberglass. It will be a bullet proof nose then.

The hard part is deciding where the cut line should be, then cutting it out without cutting through it and getting into the external hull. Also I hope the inner liner in NOT Potter puttyed down the the external hull. Anybody have any experience with that?

It has to flex so I would think no. Not to mention the weight.

I hope not, But we will find out for sure this weekend. That is when the 4" grinder/cutting tool comes out to play again....It's like the game "Operation"...."it takes a steady hand". LOL!

Having done it both ways, if you use a multimaster or a similar tool instead of your "4" grinder/cutting" it will come out a lot nicer an make 0.000001 percent of the dust. One of the best things I have learned from this site!

if you use a multimaster or something similar doesnt the fiberglass eat up the blades?? i have the dremel multimax and it does cut the glass pretty well but the blades do not last.

What is a multimaster tool, never heard of one? Is it a big dremal tool?

I don't think any of the blades for those type tools last long. I'm pretty sure they make their money on the replacement blades. At least that is what I've learned with my dremmel tool. Cuts like nobody's business, but, not for long!
