If you do this be very careful not to get any CA on the inside(sides) of the tube. It will cause the tube to get tight in this area.May have more trouble than you wanted.

> I have a minor problem with a wing tube socket. The stop at the inside end of the tube is a 1/4" piece of wing tube material with a slot cut in it so it fits inside the tube and glued in place. After two seasons of flying, for whatever reason, the wing tube can now push itself past this stop and wedge in the tube socket. It is a minor annoyance, but I was pondering possible fixes. One was to cut teeth into an old wing tube and grind a bit of the existing stop out, then pushing an 1/8 plywood disk to the bottom of the tube and securing with a few drops of foam safe CA.
