I am preparing to close my elevators and would like some helpful hints. The manual instructs to apply Hysol to all surfaces EXCEPT the leading edge joggle. Then after cure and some glass lay-ups on the tips and BL-3 Rib, to go ahead and bond the leading edge. Does anyone have some tips on how to get the Hysol on the leading edge joggle evenly and in an adequate amount for proper closure? I am especially concerned about the area between the outboard hinge half and the counter weight arm. Should I just bond that area with the initial closure since it is too stiff to reshape anyway? (I am ASSUMING that the reason for the later closure of the leading edge joggle is to form it to the proper dimensions to fit the horizontal stab dimension.)
