Estes Great Goblin, #9724 Build, Part 10, Filler/Primer

On the left is the tube after the CWF seam filler was sanded. The pencil line below the fin slot shows an additional seam that showed after sanding. It's one of those seams where the glassine layer has shrunken into the Kraft paper seam. More CWF and sanding.

On the right - This shows some masking where I don't want the gray Filler/Primer to cover. Down the root edge, the masking tape strip was removed after spraying.



Here's how the fins were masked before the Filler/Primer was sprayed.

The TTW tab and the root edge is masked.
I cut a thin strip of masking tape for the root edge above and below the TTW tab.

Those three black dots tell me this fin is from the third kit build.


Look close at the picture on the left side.
There are still some open grain pores after the sanded CWF and filler/primer coats.

On the right I have rubbed in some additional CWF with a fingertip.




A refilling like this is rare.

This shows an area of the fin after sanding down the second application of CWF.
