Handling dents come from finger tips, leftover drops of hardened epoxy on the board, pieces (even very small) of anything that the wing rests on while you are cutting hinges, trimming trailing edges, sanding leading edges, joining, wiring---you get the picture. You can get many tens of them from a single or pair of drops on the board as you move the wing around! Working in the shucks helps minimize this sort of damage. REMOVING DENTS For foam core wings, you can remove practically all of this damage after the fact. Heat a monokote sealing iron to very hot, fold a paper towel to four or eight layers, wet the paper towel to soaking, almost dripping wet. Lay the wet folded paper towel onto the dented are and the iron over that. Generally speaking (common sense here), the more steam/boiling water, the better. Severe damage can be helped by pouring boiling water over the area, even multiple times. Do not let the iron touch the wing directly. Always work with a "wet" towel.
