With one hinge floxed and cured, I took the weights off and tested my elevator range. Ahhhh still all good again… OK I did test before this too. I then went to work to clean out the far slot of all the little stick pieces and bits of glue.

I mixed my flox the consistency of honey and really worked it into the slot. There was a bit of movement of the hinge to help me ensure I got all that I needed into the slot. So with one hinge loose I still had the other 4 with the 5mt glue and one permanent. Of course I checked and rechecked for correct movement range before the flox went in and I ensured my 0.02″ spacers were in place too.

Once that one was in place I felt OK about cleaning up another slot and floxing that. The elevator was still 100% in the correct position.

I let it all cure overnight even though I was tempted to finish off the two remaining slots. Whats one more day eh?
