The reality of it is that the glues used during the manufacturing of the aircraft did not like the humidity of the Florida climate as was found by the RAF in India when they operated them, the only way around it is to keep it in an air conditioned hangar or rebuild it using modern adhesives as these are much better these days and wouldn't require any screws to be put in as per the original seeing as they form such a strong bond. Seeing as the de-lamination has already started I would think that the only open option is a rebuild which is what Kermit has been threatening to undertake in recent times. We live in hope.
