Hello,
My aluminum wing tube is loose inside the paper tube. I was thinking to "paint" on something to make the paper tube a smaller diameter so that the aluminum tube fits tight and without slop. Any recommendations for reducing slop?
Thanks,
Teryn

I used a very small drop of CA. Put a drop at the end of the tube and tilt the wing to let the drop run down the tube. This adds a thin layer of ca to build up the tube. Be careful not to use too much (or nothing will fit).
