You made a mistake.  Sh#t happens.

No good carrying on at people that gave you advice. 

They gave advice (past tense) now they are gloating - nasty!😈

No-one ever said owning an aircraft was a cheap and trouble-free proposal - like all complex machinery, regular applications of money is the only thing that keeps them going.

AAhhhh yes ...................... the machines tedious, regular, continuous & insatiable need for money                     (been there done that - a bit like an enjoyment tax in a way)

FYI:

 

The Superglue, I used to effect a temporary repair,  does not react with Perspex/ Acrylic

 

Temporary Fix to get me airborne again

 

I followed Ian Linke's   ([email protected]) recommended temporary fix using lightweight woven fiberglass & superglue

 

I strayed (with Ian's approval) from lightweight, ordinary woven  fiberglass, to left over wing covering fabric.

 

The wing covering fabric may have too tight a weave, which tended to trap air-bubbles, which were quite difficult to remove. A more open weave may be easier to work with.
