Hello List:
I have two questions that I am sure there are good answer for.
1. Is there a simple way to remove small dings from wing skins?
2. Does any one have a good design for inspection covers, round and rectangular?
Thanks, John Read

You can fill the dings. I used Super Fill, but there are a lot of others you could use.
As far as inspection covers, you can just make them out of scrap aluminum.

You can buy inspection covers, drill/cut the appropriate holes and hold them in place with Tinnerman nuts. Normally inspection ports are only put on the bottom of lifting surfaces where air pressure will help hold them in place. If a port has to be on an upper skin it has to; be as small as possible, have a reasonably strong retaining ring installed for reinforcement and use much more substantial fasteners than Tinnerman nuts. Best advice don't even consider it..
As for the dings... if they are small enough fill then with epoxy, sand back and repaint. Larger dents may require drilling small holes and pulling the dent out with a slap hammer. You can then use a blind rivet to fill the hole. Larger dents again... replace the skin in that area.

I've rolled some small dents out with a tablespoon. Put something
polished under the dent, like a scrap piece of steel or aluminum
plate, and then gently rock the spoon back and forth over the dent.
