Wing getting ready for skinning:


Expandable Gorilla glue over ribs and stringers:

What do you mean by Expandable?  I don't see anything on the label about that?

Mike, this is the traditional Gorilla glue. It is a polyurethane glue that reacts with water or humidity and foams, filling any gaps.

Downer, you are correct. It multiplies the grip and fills any gaps that could be there.
It gives you about 30 minutes to work so you can tack the edges specially the L.E.

To prevent any expansion and keep the skin against the ribs, I cover it with magazines and soft cover books:

getting the bottom ready for skin, I check make sure all ribs have a good grip.


One thing to watch out for is area over the flaps, if you put  too much Gorilla, I will have to trim and sand:

Before I sheet the bottom of the wing, I need to build a box around the landing gear hardwood beams in order to support the skin:


Another detail is the square tubing that will act as hinge point receptor for the ailerons:
