You've really got to look close to find the seams.
It just took a little sanding to smooth them out.
Body tube seam filling -
Here's two BT-55 lower tubes from two kits.
On the left is the thinned CWF filler applied by dragging a knife blade down the seam, a little at a time. Dip and drag, dip and drag down the seam.
On the right side is a filled tube seam, sanded to surface.
I do a two-step tube fill process.
After the CWF has been sanded down, Duplicolor filler/primer is sprayed.
On the right side is the filler/primer sanded to surface. Look close to see some gray filler/primer left in the seam, filling what recess that was left.
The CWF fills about 75% of the seam, the remaining 25% is filled by the filler/primer.
As mentioned above, the nose cone and new adapter were very clean.
After lightly sanding the filler/primer, there was really no seam to fill.
