Need to move a rib

[MOFlyer]

Thanks all. I used a dremel to knock down most of the epoxy and then used a heat gun to get it to move. All worked well and the flex was very minimal. Looks much better now. i gotta say though, seeing the epoxy become gooey with the heat gun had me thinking of Icarus. There's a lot of parts being held by epoxy.

MOFlyer, yep aircraft built of composites by both Boeing and Airbus use Epoxy based resins and adhesives and they fly a lot closer to the sun than we do ..??!!

It takes a lot of heat to soften Hysol, and then it appears to me to still be a very strong bond even when gooey.
