Subject: LNC2 Horiz.stab hinge center line

I am trying to establish an accurate center line for the hinges on the the horizontal stab. I contacted Redmond today and They brought up a the following point.Even though you can split the difference between the bottom skin and the top of the spar during layout, when you install the top skin, there is a good chance that the bonding epoxy will be thicker than the factory bond on the bottom skin. This would raise the top skin off the spar a little and put it further away from the center line than the bottom skin, and now the line is not in the center, it is closer to the bottom skin.
 
Has anyone had this problem and is there a better way to find the centerline than splitting the difference at the hinge points?
 
Thank You
