Einleitung
To repair the wing of a foam glider there are 3 things that are required; (1) 3/4 inch wooden dowel, (2) Wood snips, and (3) Gorilla White Gorilla Glue. The wood snips cut the wooden dowel at a length where it can internally stabilize the structure of the wing. Gorilla White Gorilla Glue is an inexpensive adhesive that will glue the dowels to the inside of the wing without eating through the foam. Other glues are known to eat through foam and will not allow your repair to be complete.
