The tube assemblies haven't been glued on yet. They were dry fitted on the central tube and sprayed with filler primer.
After the filler/primer fully dried, the tube assemblies were slid off.
On the left is a segment of tube between where the assemblies fit.
The filler/primer was sanded to surface filling any remaining tube seams.
To attach the lowest tube at the engine mount -
I apply a ring of glue on the inside edge of the ring. When slid in place, it makes an internal fillet.
After the lowest tube is glued in place, you can fill the seams with CWF and sanding.
I wouldn't recommend applying a glue ring then sliding the tube assemblies over the glue. That would make a mess!
See the next post on how to set the upper tube assemblies.
