What Pete said and then put a foam mattress (or simular) on a piece of strong plywood (again or simular) underneath the repair and using a jack put slight upward pressure to prevent any sagging. The problem with this method is you can get wrinkles if you are not very careful, use very thick plastic. Using this method, I just finished repairing a Jabiru tail dragger (full composite aircraft) that ground looped and fractured the undercarriage mounting points.

Plastic, peel ply, glass, epoxy, glass. Brush it out so it's wetted and then pick the whole lot up and stick it directly to the area you want it applied to. squeegee it well and tape the edges. I've not done this on a plane yet, but I have done it on a boat. I don't think the applications should be too different. Cheers. Pete.
