Carbon foil left on an ally fuselage in salt water creates galvanic corrosion. Tsk tsk. Foil fizzles onto fuselage.

Don't bother with heating, cooling, messy







liquid penetrants n WD40.

Fill your bathtub with 4 x 2L bottles of vinegar, top up with warm water to the top of the join and soak ur weapon for 12hours.

Static rig flat-strap webbing from a roof beam or rafter around the foil and tap tap the mast/fuselage down with a rubber mallet.

Tap tap tap. Victory. . . . and you wont ever leave ur overpriced carbon on ur cheap ally again.

Now check reallllly well if the swelling of fuse has split the carbon. If It came off, probably not. But still....

Using 2x4 woods help me to transfer force much better with mallet hitting the mast. You may hurt yourself if the tail comes forcefully with your system.
