Hi John
Thanks for your quick reply, and suggestion.
Was at breakfast early this morning with 2 of my flying buddies, they suggested cutting, fitting and tapping cling-wrap to one end/side and having the wet towels alcohol handy. and some acetone at the ready. they also were not to enthusiastic about the polly glue
I did remove the covering and mark the edges in the center, but I am not ready to start gluing any thing as yet, I want to make sure I have all of my ducks in order so to speak.
Will try to post some pic's with some progress info
Cheers bob T
