Guys,

  

 My RV-9A has a tip-up canopy.  The forward fuselage skin is a tad low  in some areas as it relates to the canopy skin.  I want to match the  skins by building up with a micro micro slurry then sand to  match.

  

 I'm concerned the micro might chip or separate from the aluminum in the  future.  My plan is to rough up and clean the forward canopy skin, lay down  a layer(s) of fiberglass cloth, add peel ply and let it cure.  After  removing the peel-ply I'd add the epoxy/micro mixture, let it cure, then sand to  match.

  

 Will the cloth bond the micro to the skin and keep it from chipping  away?  The buildup in some areas could be a 1/16" or just a tad more.

  

 I've tried to research the archives - it's a slow day on the website.

  

 Any suggestions are welcome!  Thanks...
