Dr. Zooch Vanguard Eagle Build Part 18 Camera Pod Blister

With a pencil, draw a cruciform on the nose cone for positioning and gluing.
See the next photo to see what I mean.

A drop of CYA (thin super glue) was set on the back of a scrap piece of sandpaper.

The egg was picked up with tweezers and the contoured back was dipped in the CYA drop.



While the glue was still wet, the egg was set in the center of the pencil marks.

The egg was pressed into place.




Another drop of thin CYA was set on the sandpaper scrap.

A toothpick was used to pick up a small drop.

This drop was set on the edge of the egg / nose cone seam and dragged around the edge making a fillet.
The thin CYA fillet will sand easily.
