CA Hinge Removal
So I am not new to building or flying, but I am new to removing CAhinges. I have removed them like 3 minutes after they were installed with debonder, but never longer then that..... How the heck can I get them out, taking my old Trainer making her a taildragger and covering her in fabric. Will paint her in Olive Drab like some sort of Scout plane... I need to get the stupid Hinges out. Should I replace with the nylong hinges after? Any help would be great

RE: CA Hinge Removal
The problem is not so much damage (although that IS a concern), but Thin CA needs a porous surface for it to work. Once an area has had Thin CA on it, Thin CA won't hold well to that area again.
Either cut new slots next to the old ones, or drill a hole where the old one was and use Robart Pinned hinges.
