Any ideas on how to fix this Roush wing?
i would hate to throw this wing away...
i bought it along time ago..back then, i didnt know i could've complained and probably got the shipping company to pay for it. maybe..
but one side was broke off during shipping... the part that was broke off wasnt inside the box.
so my only choice is to maybe screw a couple screws into the broke part (to help hold the bondo)... and build some bondo up then shape it out with sandpaper... i think its possible, just will take alot of patience.
only the right side is broke.. i took pics of the left side to compare it to.

I would stay away from bondo as a holding agent. I would find out the material, then get a 2 part epoxy that would be compatible with it. That would be a much better solution than just gobbing bondo onto it in hopes it would hold together.

well i could shape it out with bondo... then use an epoxy to glue it to the rest of the wing. i could just shop the broken part straight down so its flat then glue it to it.
i think the inside is some kind of styrophone then it has a coating..maybe a sealer than primer/paint.
