The BT-2 tube was pressed into an oval shape to lower its height and allow the vacu-form half edges to meet.
There are still some ball point pen ink marks on the edges.
Before gluing the two sides together I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge to remove them. Ink can sometimes bleed through a paint finish.
TIP: Use the backside of your hobby knife to scrape down and even up the vacu-form edges. The unsharpened back of the #11 blade works like a small cabinet scraper without dulling the cutting side.
There are some small gaps where the edges didn't quite meet. A little white Squadron Putty should close them up.
This picture was taken before the putty was sanded down.
