DFR Tech. Delta II Build Part 6 Seam Filling


In this kit there is a lot of tubes to fill!
One main tube and nine SRMs!

Here I'm dragging a small drop of thinned Carpenter's Wood Filler down a body tube seam with a dull knife blade.
This method uses less filler and directs the filler right into the seam.

The SRM Attachment Mounts are 1/8" square basswood.
I want to sand them smooth before gluing onto the body tube.

TIP:
To help keep track of what side has been sanded, I marked all four sides with a pencil.
You'll have to trust me on this. While you are sanding, it's easy to lose track of what sides have been sanded.
If you mark it with a pencil, you'll know what sides are left to be sanded.


A smooth side has already had the pencil marking sanded off.

Here's an SRM mount before (top) and after smoothing. (bottom)
