<<One side of my horizontal stabilizer trailing edge is trimmed too short.
Does anyone have any idea how to add a little bit of length back?  I am
looking to add about 3/16".

When that happened to me (when I say it that way it doesn't sound quite so
bad) I ground off some of rough edges on the inside so I wouldn't have to
later take some off there, put a form against the surface on the outside and
laid up a 3-bid on the inside against the form.  Then filled the resulting
cracks (the bid won't form into the sharp corners) on the outside with micro
and finally added a 1-bid on the outside to bond both sides together.
Worked well and gave a stiff edge without too much work.  I'm a complete
amateur so there are likely better ideas out there.
