Ranger Clone Build Part 18 Primer Over Epoxy Fillets



Before any more primer was sprayed over the epoxy fillets, the inside rear of the body tube was masked off.

I'll be gluing the engine mount in after the painting is finished.




One great thing about the Duplicolor primer is the nozzle. You can turn the tip and spray wide or in a finer line.
I set the nozzle for a finer line and directed the primer specifically at the fillets. the fins and body tube were already primed.

There was some slight dips and bumps in the epoxy fillets. Some of this was taken down with sandpaper wrapped around a dowel.
Be careful not to sand a rut into the (softer) fins. Concentrate on the fillet seam area.



I had to go back after sanding and do another coat of primer on the fillet areas.
Here I've marked the trouble spots with pencil.
