How about a hypo and some epoxy?

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Wing tube phenolic repair "help"
 
I was just about finished setting up my Odyssey when I noticed that the wing
seemed a little loose. If I hold the fuselage the right wing panel can
wiggle up and down a noticable amount. I thought that maybe the tube mount
at the fuse was loose but that was not the case. As it turns out, the
phenolic in my completed wing is loose about 3/4 of the way down and is
wiggling around. It almost feels like the foam in the sheeted foam core wing
has been somehow dislodged and the phenolic is in just a hollow cavern
instead of solidly glued to the wing. It is still glued solid at the root so
it won't slide out, but it obviously can not be flown in that condition.
 
Question:
How do I go about repairing the foam that the phenolic mounts to? The wing
is sheeted, covered, and trimmed (complete) and I would like to keep from
having to start all over again. Getting out the old one will also be an
issue as it is still partially glued in. 
 
I am open to any and all suggestions.
 
Thanks in advance
Anthony
