Thanks very much for that Bud, that is exactly what I needed! As you
say, I was trying to overthink it. I really appreciate your advice,
thanks again!
Cheers,

it. Sand the exposed part of the tip inside for glass prep. Just cut the tip
and angle it down. To do a really neat job you'll be proud of, cut it down from
the top around the curve stopping before the lower skin and bend the tip down
to satisfy and use a wood shim to hold it in place. Tack it with super glue
a popsicle stick running chord wise to keep the tip in place and remove your
shim from the gap. Apply two layers of bid overlapping the cut some one and
a half to two inches around your wound. Allow to cure, fill sand and get on
with the fun. It's just fiberglass, but you will use that tip to grasp the wing
for rigging/de-rigging, so glass the tip properly.
