The instructions showed a fillet applied after the engine mount / nozzle is slid in place. I felt too much glue would have to be applied for a complete seal.
Also, trying to smooth that fillet with a fingertip wouldn't work.
I applied a thin ring of glue just below the small end of the nozzle.
The engine mount was slid in place up to the small end of the nozzle. This pushed the glue ring into the right position for a smaller fillet.
While the glue was still wet -
The engine mount was turned. This smoothed out the line of glue.
I probably turned the mount one full rotation to smooth out the fillet.
You'll never get your finger into that tight angle to remove any excess, so use a Q-tip to pick up the glue.
You'll want the nozzle area clean.
I won't be painting over the printed bands on the nozzle.
I might even wait to install the engine mount until after all the upcoming detail work has been done.
