Paul;
If memory serves me correct, I have a very early set of XS wings. After they
had
been painted, the shop was buffing the finish, and s a result of the buffing
process, a hot spot occurred. And as a result I had a small bubble about the
size of a 50 cent piece. When we cut into this bubble to repair, we found a
very thin layer of foam
sandwiched between layers of fiberglass.
If you apply too much heat, you may make the problem worse if the foam melts.

---From the trailer. I have reduced one to something quite small with local
heating , but the other is still very noticeable. I had a suggestion from
someone
in the crash repair industry who suggested I heat the area and then place
a cold towel in the depression.
