Hello All,
Currently stripping the bottom on my E38 and was working on the rudder today. I noticed that there is a section, maybe 18" long (vertically) and 12" wide on one side of the rudder that "bounces" when you push on it? The shape of the area is elliptical and when I tap on the area it is quite obvious where the skin is detached from the inner foam in this area. The rest of the rudder sounds out nicely when tapped with a small mallet.
I am thinking that the repair would be injecting epoxy resin, slightly thickened into a hole drilled at the bottom of this area, filling until it comes out a hole at drilled at the top of this area. What do you think? Would that work?
TIA, RT
