I've acquired a Cassutt that hasn't flown in over 15 years. Somehow, I managed to damage the skin over the second innermost rib. So I need to remove the skin from the root to the second rib; my plan is to scarf the 1/16" plywood skin over the third rib and replace the skin.

But how best to remove the skin over the inner ribs? I've been searching online for a week and haven't come up with a good solution - does anyone have a suggestion? I have one idea, but I'm not sure it's the best way.

Hopefully, my question makes sense.
