Hello all. Recently retired (which means time to work on the KF) and preparing wings for new tank and Laker Leading Edge install. Removing the standard PVC leading edge (installed by the previous builder) and applied what I thought was a little heat (heat gun) to the hysol holding the PVC to the LE to get started. Hours later finished the PVC removal (went smoothly and slowly) and was checking my work. Noticed the tip rib was a tiny bit loose at its tip - apparently I used too much heat, warmed the spar the Hysol lost its grip. This is maybe 3/4 of an inch of circumference that's loose.

I'd like to rebond this small section. I think I have two options:

1. leave the old hysol in place, bond over it with fresh hysol and increase the radius of the joint to include n additional 3/8" of spar. I like this idea cuz it's simple.

2. remove some of the old hysol with a combination of careful dremeling and heat application with a sharp-tipped soldering gun and then rebond. I'm concerned about this idea b/c there is potential to nick the spar with the dremel and to loosen more of the joint with the soldering iron.

Opinions please! Thanks for your help.
