Centuri Finless Build Part 10 Shroud Gluing

The original Centuri instruction plan has you glue the ring into the shroud then install it on the body tube.

Because of the retaining ring, you'd be better off gluing the ring on first. Then, slide the shroud down the tube from the top and onto the ring.

If you were to glue the ring and shroud together first, it'd be hard to get the shroud over the retainer ring if slid on from the bottom up.




To get the shroud tight enough around the tube, I applied a small amount of white glue under the sides of the lug slot. The sides were pressed down onto the tube using a clean, rounded dowel.
