Semroc (Centuri) Taurus Build, Part 10, Paint Problems & A Fix



I don't know what happened here -

One adapter came out fine after the first white undercoat, the other adapter still showed rough balsa under the paint!
I had to go back and hit it again with filler/primer, sanding and then more gloss white.




This picture shows some sanding of the fillet areas, a normal rough spot. The paint has been sanded down and the gray primer is seen.

Note there is a thin strip of masking tape down the pod support gluing outside (pod root) edge.




More rough edges were found on the leading and trailing edges of the pod supports. Filler/primer was sprayed into a cup. A Q-tip dipped in and the paint rolled just over the leading edges.  
Dry, sand and spray with more gloss white after 48 hours.
