removing very old monocate from wing?
 

Any suggestions of the best way of removing very old monocote from a wing? What is on there now is so old that it cracks under slight pressure and falls of in small pieces.

Thanks, Jim

Jim:

Try your heat gun and a pair of pliers or exacto to lift film.
Wow that is old stuff. Never have seen covering that brittle.
You will still have to sand off some film from LE & TE.

Yes it is really old monocote
 

To Randy, thank for your input. Yes it is really old monocote on the plane. How about this plane has been on storage for approx. 20 to 25 years!
But I think this little guy still wants to FLY.

Thanks, Jim :D

Randy, I saw that you had some suggestions for removing very old monocote. Would the same apply if I am removing monocote that is not old? I am getting ready to strip a Sig Cap 231 and do not want to dameage anything. Should I use heat to remove or do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,Bill
