I did start sanding the fuse where the stabs are to be glued last night. Checked pole for size and its very tight, so tight in fact the pole is permanently fitted into one stab with no glue. Any ideas how I should remove it without breaking so I can glue it?
Cheers all
While the dowel is primarily used for alignment, you may want to try removing it just to check.
Use something that will grip the wood, such as a small pipe plyers set... and try turning it a bit first.
Don't damage the dowel, you are merely trying to see if it will turn if only a bit, at all.
If it does, then turn slightly in each direction as you attempt to pull it out, to work it free.
If it doesn't, wick thin CA into where it joins the wing. This will adhere it even more.
