I´m trying to replicate a wing but i´m having hard times figuring how can i do the seams of the top and bottom part so i can have a good cosmetic finish.
The problem is the seams on the original wing are in the angles (V shaped) so i can find out how i will make a flange in the two sides were i can aply the bonding agent.

Here are some photos to illustrate

Oooops. Reading the original post again I think you may be right FLD.

I do very similar to you except I use 3mm Soric in the lay-up around the split line on the leading edge. When trimmed this gives a 4mm wide edge to bond the two halves together. So don't need the tape along the join.

Very good idea! Wish I'd heard that/thought of that sooner!
