Estes Star Seeker BT-50 Upscale (Tri-Pack) Kit #0866, Part 4, Prepping Lug Details


The 1/8" launch lug and 1/4" decorative "engine" tube lugs got a CWF seam fill and sanding.

While being held by Q-tip handles, 
they were sprayed with filler/primer.




All were sanded with 400 grit.

The ends got a wipe with CA glue applied with a Q-tip.
This hardens the loose fibers and allows you to sand them off clean.






After sanding, 
The edges were pressed and rolled round using a sharpened dowel.
