All the balsa got a coat of CWF and fine sanding.
There are a lot of pieces getting a shot of filler/primer.
All are held down to longer masking tape strips with the sticky side facing up. The short end pieces are sticky side down to hold the long tape strips in place.
TIP: Where I can - Set the root edges end to end to keep he balsa gluing surfaces clear of the filler/primer.
Spray and let dry.
Flip over the pieces and spray the other side.
Notice the five short launch lugs, cardstock vanes, BT-5 pod tubes and landing gear dowels all get a good single coat of filler/primer.
TIP: My filling/sealing process is two parts. One application of CWF and sanding. One fairly heavy coat of filler/primer and sanding. That should be all you need to fill and seal the balsa grain.
The top is dried filler/primer.
The lower vane has been sanded with 400 grit.
