Hi! Will..
I would have thought a heat gun applied to the joint in one place at a
time and gradually prise the skins apart with a wedge or blunt chisel
would be a possibility. However I'm not an XS man and so unaware of
where you will be applying heat and at how many points. Why not make one
or two test pieces of waste bonded together to develop a technique prior
to setting to work on the wing?
Regards
Bob Harrison.

I guess I had better 'fess up.
I did the reinforcements 0/90 instead of 45deg. And then adding really
dumb
behaviour to stupidity, I closed the wings out and then realized what I
had
done...
I talked to andy about this and he said that the general opinion was to
open
up and do them again. He suggested heat and wished me luck! He was
very
nice about it
I am currently trying to heat up the skins to loosen the Araldite but I
am
getting the distinct feeling that I will end up without useful skins and
with damage to the underneath structure. So I fear than unless anyone
has a
bright I idea that new skins are the order of the day. Expensive.
So any ideas or help gratefully received. Anyone got a spare pair of
skins
- or perhaps someone who changed standard wings for glider wings?
Will

I have made an error in construction in the interior of the wings and
very
cleverly close then (with the error inside).
So now I have to open them again.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Will
