4 more hours of hard work today to recover the gluing mess. The day has been devoted to grinding away the chunks of particle board which were ripped away (mostly along the plywood butt joints) and removing the several screws which had remained glued into the stringers or butt blocks. We now have several fairly sized holes here and there which will be filled with thickened epoxy. Even if I had worked again with epoxy, I'm very impressed by its holding power which is nothing short of phenomenal.
Anyway, we succeeded in getting the panels quite clean with no major issues. And the most important thing: at the end of the day, we stacked the two panels face to face (they are mirror images of each other) and they do match to within 1 or 2 mm!
Total work time to date: 58 hours (but should have been 52!)
