Gentlemen,

It seems that there are a lot of problems occurring due to excess adhesive 
(epoxy/flox or hysol) being forced out from joints as the wings are closed 
out with resultant plugging of critical vents or freezing of slosh doors 
open or closed.  Is it possible to attach a 1 or 2 ply strip on either side 
of the cap, (arbitrarily, 1 or 1-1/2 inch on either side extending beyond 
the cap) joggled down the thickness of the cap to allow room for the excess 
to squeeze out?  This would contain the adhesive at the wing skin and 
prevent it from falling into the cavity. I would give each strip a slight 
upward slant to preload it.  I'm sure I have some of the terms wrong, and I 
may not have made myself clear. I'll make a drawing if needed. Hope this 
helps.
