Stef, First I covered the wing gap area with this clear, super thin packing tape. Then I was able to cheat a little. I have a roll of 3 inch wide glass tape that I cut into about 7 foot long strips. Using 3 layers per side. I was afraid to wet them all at once on a piece of plastic in fear that when rounding the leading edge they might kink or wrinkle and since I was a one man operation the 7 foot long piece would have been hard for me to handle. So after marking the packing tape where I wanted the strips to lay, I started at the back of the top, wetting out the glass as I went along. I then went under the wing and continued the process from front to back, keeping the line as straight as possible. Then back to the top side to repeat these steps 2 more times. This worked great for me, I was also afraid that the weight of the glass tape wood be heavy enough to fall off the underside but the layering system seemed to be letting the epoxy thicken enough to hold the weight. Let dry, micro the top and bottom, sand to finish and then just pop off by sliding a thin putty knife underneath. Sand the edges with long sanding block and your all done except for painting and attaching.
