Cut out new fiberglass "sheet" to fit into LH Tip fairing. Decided to reinforce with 3/8" square balsa from top to bottom to insure Tip fairing was properly "expanded", and would not bow in or out (which could cause an interference). I recessed approx 1/16" so no possible interference with swinging counterweight on Elev. Being "inside" insured correct profile too. With Tip fairing installed via cleco's on Horiz Stab, I simply used cyanoacrylate (instant glue) to hold in position. Removed and added fiberglass layer to inside to secure to Tip. It's really solid now ! I used same batch of epoxy resin to make RH Tip plate ( 2 x 9 oz cloth layers).
