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
Bob your two buddies are correct, use cling wrap on half of the stab, make sure its tight on the end, top and bottom half of the stab; the epoxy will not cling to the wrap as you slide the stab through its mount. Once the stab is positioned correctly, carefully remove the cling wrap and use paper towels wet with alcohol to clean up any left over epoxy. I have used this method several times, no mess, no fuss.
