Sanding Kevlar is usually a bad idea...
It doesn't really sand it more fuzzes up. The peel strength between the Kevlar and the foam is pretty low, you don't want to do something that gets a peel going.
If you do sand it you will need to put a new layer over the 'gap' 1/2 inch on either side of the gap should be good.
The CA trick with sanding works o.k., better for sanding edges than flat surfaces like yours. Plus, if you do go to bond another ply on top you would rather not be bonding to the CA.
Why not bury the wrinkle in one of your ribs?
It is looking great Mike, when do you plan to launch?

It was breezy, about 10 mph. Also, the N800 has little thrust the last few seconds as it's a D grain. The saucer weighs about 18 lb., on pad weight is 45 lb. It always lands upwind of the pad due to severe weathercocking.Rocketjunkie, I noticed that your saucer on an N800 was coming down under power during part of it's flight. What was the wind like that day? Also, what's the weight of your saucer?
