Pull a gentle vacuum on the wing while heating the area with a heat lamp. Mix up a thin mixture of epoxy flox, and then put it on the hole and allow it to suck in. The elevated temperature lowers the viscosity. Let it suck in, make sure no air comes in to make a new passage, then allow to cure.

I did not close out the wing, it was done by a previous owner. It is part of the fuel bay. It took about 50 hours to leak through. I am looking for a product like hysol, but do need a whole quart for a little patch job. Anybody else experience this? Brad LIV-55 hours Still in primer.
