Centurion Project Part 5 Cosmic Explorer Fin Primer and Gluing



The fins are test fitted in the TTW slots.
Even with the slight thickness of sanded wood filler (CWF) it was a tight fit getting the fins seated.

I'm not gluing the fins in place yet. The slots will hold the fins in place for primer spraying.

By not gluing the fins in the slots I can remove them to sand the primer down. It's easier to sand the primer when you are not dealing with the angle of a root edge.

In the picture you can see I have an automatic mask - no primer is on the TTW tab or the root edge gluing area on the body tube.



After the primer coat it took even more forward and back wiggling to get the fins seated.
Check the root edges of the slot to be sure they sit squarely against the fin sides.
