Estes QCC Explorer Build Part 7, Intake Assembly



Where you can, apply CA on the inside seams. Again this so the filler will adhere better on the outside. CA glue seals the surface and won't allow the water based CWF to stick.
The intake is sanded with 220 grit on a block.
In the picture, the upper intake is before sanding.

Below is the intake after sanding.
You can see how much of the burnt brown edges have been removed. Use the burnt brown color as a sanding "depth gauge".
Don't sand off to much. These intakes will require repeated filler applications and smooth sanding.

All the dark "dots" on the side are tab / slot recesses.



This is the end, Part L, before and after sanding smooth.
Any dark areas will require filling.
