Centuri Finless Build Part 11 Fill and Finish Prep



Even after the first primer coats, I was still trying to fill the lug / shroud gap with white glue fillets.

It took a few applications to smooth it over.




The nose cone was brushed with thinned CWF and sanded smooth.
Some CWF was over the edge of the nose cone shoulder.

TIP: To get a better edge on a nose cone shoulder:
Pull the nosecone slightly out of the body tube.
Sharply fold a piece of 400 grit sandpaper.
Set the "V" of the folded sandpaper in the nose cone boldy tube gap.
Lightly sand, taking off the excess CWF.
