It was stuck even worse to the hub and I really had a hell of a time getting it off and half of the varnish from the prop stayed stuck to the hub. I got the prop about 3 weeks ago so the varnish was well cured and it was only on the plane for two days and properly torqued. I have had this problem with other Sterba props on different planes also. Any suggestions on how I can keep it from sticking when I put it back on? Not sure if a good wax would do it or not. Thinking of maybe putting Saran wrap between the prop and the hub then trimming it after torquing the bolts. Any better ideas?
