Funny you ask. Its actually too cold to use the Oratex glue and I didnt have a place to warm it up (plane basically lives on a dirt clearing). The hole was more of a tear of sorts about an 1" wide and about 4" long dead center in between two ribs. I know you cant just apply over an unsupported area. What I did was cut some 0.016 Aluminum as a backing plate and superglued the entire circumference. Then applied 2" tape over it. Worked like a charm! I also know Lars stocks bottles of glue. Ive had to stop by and get an extra bottle before when I ran short. Kind of nice being 30 minutes away.
