Two dowels are provided for trim. Short lengths go over the joint between the two body tubes.
Sand the dowels smooth with 400 grit before cutting them to length.
Both dowels are cut to 1 1/2" lengths, four lengths from each 6" dowel.
GOTCHA: I checked the length and found the dowels were just short of the 6" length needed. I wanted all eight dowels to be the same length so I cut them all a little short at 1 7/16" long.
TIP: It's easy to roll a knife blade over a dowel to cut it. It's also very easy for that cut line to travel.
Go slow - Roll forward a half turn around the dowel then roll back to your starting pint. Roll back a half turn and joint the cuts.
Make sure the blade is perpendicular to the dowel and take it slow until the cut line is established.
Before filler/primer is sprayed, set all the dowels on a straight edge to be sure they are all the same length.
