A photo description of an old repair - Canard wrinkle #epoxy #repairs

Better than 10 years ago I experienced a hard landing with a passenger aboard.  We landed pretty hard and bounced back into the air. I did a go-around and landed much better the second time. When I got to the gas pump, I discovered a nasty wrinkle in the upper skin. 
 
In this post I will provide a photographic description of the repair. Click on the photos for a better look. Thanks to Charlie Johnson for the repair advice and C-Rod for the layup and vacuum bagging help.

Sam - that is great to see the steps to repair the wrinkle.  I had no idea that is how it is done.  Thanks for sharing!

Does that Sawzall have a nickname yet, Sam? It's just about as Q-List famous as Alan's green shorts!
