If this is common knowledge, just I apologize for stating this as a precaution.
I recently bought some pre-formed aluminum trailing edge from ACS. As I was trimming it and preparing to glue it on, I noticed that whomever formed it did not remove the plastic coating on the included angle.
If you do not catch this, then you will be bonding to a plastic film, not to aluminum.
Get some needle-nose pliers or some other tool, and fish out all the plastic before attempting to glue these onto the wing.
