Brief Description:  Continued removing adhesive from mounts.

I realized that I had to use the vice to hold the mount. I took a piece of square wood that I had ripped from a board. I filed it down to just fit into the head of the mount and then snugged it into the vice. I then used a putty knife to lift the edge of the foam adhesive. I got the palm of my hand on the unstuck edge and slowly rolled it to the other side of the mount until it came off. Much easier than using my thumbs and fingers. My hand skin was the only thing that would not stick to adhesive.

I then scratched up the smooth mount surface on a piece of 80 grit sand paper to rough it up. I needed about 50 mounts to glue on to the fuselage skin.
