Thanks everyone for the help. I will be trying the tape test tomorrow weather permitting. Hopefully it will help. There is definitely a big difference with the aileron hinge gaps. They are large enough to slide a credit card through. The elevator on the other hand I can barely get a piece of paper between. As far as the temp goes, I will be careful...The plane is supposedly covered with Monokote though (Avistar) so hopefully I don't mess anything. If the tape trick works I guess I will finally have the excuse I need to get the sealing iron and heat gun I have needed to get.

Thanks again for the help everyone!
