The BIG FIX - New Way Firecat 4, Part 2

I'll be spraying new white paint over existing white paint so there is no need for a complex mask.

The root edge fillet and fin are still bare. With any luck, the Titebond M&TG will have covered the torn skin on the tube.

A grocery bag was slid on from the rear. A slot was cut for the fin to be exposed. The bag was torn back to open up one flat side of the tube up to the base of the launch lug standoff.

You can see the masking tape opening out, the edges are not pressed tight on the square tube edges. Being a square tube, I'm hoping the new white paint will blend at the edges.

After the first coat the was a small blob of paint in the finish. It was shaved off with a single edge razor blade followed by light sanding.

Here's the tape pulled up on the lower side.
The white paint blend turned out well.








Fixed and ready for launch!
