Rhinoplasty...?




I was fine sanding the board in preparation for glassing and I noticed that part of the nose is dangerously thin. It's so thin in fact, that I can see the Titebond and part of the starter strip. I'm at a crossroads here, trying to decide whether I should just leave it as is and just glass it or remove the thinned area and replace it with a nose block. The tape in the images is the outline of where I would cut the nose to add a nose block. I'm leaning toward leaving the thinned area and glassing it, but I'm concerned that it will affect the structural integrity and possibly be prone to leaking. I've emailed Mike at Grain seeking advice and will wait until I hear back from him before proceeding.
