Hey guys, yesterday while disassembling my AI yesterday, I had 3 out of the 4 aka end caps get stuck in my Amas. Has anybody else experienced something similar and what did ya do to fix it? |

I've had it happen from time to time. I've tried gluing them, but the slowly work out. I check them now when dissembling the boats and "tap" them back in. I have been thinking about drilling a small hole and pinning them in, but haven't yet. It seems the order you dissemble the ama from the aka makes a bit of difference on how easily the ama "let go" of the aka caps. |

i thought maybe it might have something to do with pressure build up in the Amas on a hot day, which would squeeze the akas. Maybe opening the bungs before pulling the akas out might help. What glue did you use? |
