Use denatured alcohol and a cloth to remove all excess epoxy, especially on the hinge
pin. Make sure you have full deflection in both directions – once satisfied with the
results, set the surface aside to dry. After the hinges have dried thoroughly, pull on
them to make sure they are properly installed. Repeat this process for the other
stab/elevator half.
Note: Now is a good time to seal the hinge gap with a strip of Ultracote or Blenderm
tape. Be sure to fully deflect the control surface when sealing the gap to allow for
full deflection once the gap is sealed.
