Today on pre-flight I found that the top right corner of my lower cowl had torn away. I'm not exactly sure what initiated the failure, I think it might have been from the flush washer clamping down against the firewall lip or maybe it is just the plane commenting on my attempt to master snap rolls. In addition to having a satisfactory repair, I'd like to avoid having it looking like hell. Based on how thin the original material is, I don't think I can do any kind of double-flush riveting.
Anyone else had a similar failure in this area and have any photos of a slick repair?
