Estes Plasma Probe Build Part 10 Gluing Fin Dowels

The fin dowels are glued onto the outside edge of the fins.
The rear of the dowels extends 1/4" over the trailing edge.

Sight down the dowel from the outside edge (inset picture) to check straightness.




Brush some CWF into the open seam.
Wipe off the excess with a fingertip but leave enough over the seam to sand smooth.





The dowel ends will need some filler where it contacts the leading and trailing edges of the fin.
Apply a small amount of CWF with a toothpick.







I picked up the excess by rolling the middle stick of a Q-tip over the joint.
