Cut and ground the right wingtip trailing edge in a similar manner to the left one to resolve the reflex profile on the upper surface at the rear. Refitted the wingtip then aligned the twist in the right aileron and re-riveted it, it now looks very well aligned. The bottom surface matches the underside of the tip nicely, and the line from the wing root to the tip works out as does the alignment when viewed from the top in plan view.

Removed and cleaned the wingtip with compressed air and acetone, then mixed the same "cool and slow" fiberglass resin as per the left wing, 100:25 based on weight using a kitchen scale. Applied the resin liberally to the two trailing edge surfaces inside the wingtip, then added cotton flocks to the mixture and applied a liberal quantity between the two trailing edge halves.

Refitted the wingtip and double-checked alignment, then riveted in place to ensure it was correct whilst the fiberglass dried. Secured with clamps and wood to keep the correct profile. As with the left wing, applied the flox mixture to the wingtip leading edge to close the gap versus the aluminium leading edge. May need a little more flox or body filler to complete the leading and trailing edges once dry.
