WING TUBE FIT
How do I make my carbon wing tube fit snug again (like when it was new)? 35% A.Works 260. Thanks for the help.

Re: WING TUBE FIT
Try using a large dowel just smaller than the inside diameter of the socket. Wrap one end with strong paper towel and tape to make a plunger type device. Pour a small pool of aliphatic glue into the beginning of the socket tube and with a slow spinning motion work the glue around the inside of the tube. Start out with a small amount so as to not overload and create bumps or ridges. You may have to do more than one coat.
If you cant find a large enough diameter dowel you can build up a smaller one by wrapping it with foam rubber and more tape.

Re: WING TUBE FIT
shoot some clear over it - make additional coats to get a nice fit.
