Centuri Vulcan Build Part 7 Cone Gluing



When the edges are lined up from top to bottom, burnish down the tape on the inside.

Here I'm using an engine casing stuck in a dowel to roll over the tape edge.




White glue was set on one side on a single edge razor blade (the side facing up) and applied under the lifted edge.
TIP: Never use a lot of glue when adhereing paper to paper. These bonds don't take a lot of glue, just a light coat.




Inside the cone and directly under the seam is a 1/2" diameter dowel. Another clean dowel is rolled over the seam from the outside. The inside dowel gives you something hard to roll over.

Note: I always say use a CLEAN dowel. Any dirt, oil or old paint will transfer from the dowel onto the shroud surface and be locked onto the surface by any glue that is pushed out.
