Joe, when you do the slider version you put quite a lot of paste tapering to almost nothing.  I haven't heard of it peeling off and certainly don't see any problem on mine.  For sure you need to rough up the surface of the aluminum but you should be OK with just epoxy filler like West System 410 microflight or similar.

  

 Aircraft Spruce has lots of choices here http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/cm/fillers.html

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.

Someone once told me that to take some of the low area under the canopy slider skirt, you might be able to drill out some rivets and put some spacers/longer rivets in.  Perhaps that might take some of it out.
