I jumped ahead to the nose cone.Before gluing, sand off the molding flash especially on the side without the alignment pins.
I've had some experience with the old Nike Smoke two-piece cone before.
To see one way to fill the seams and molding dimples,Check last year's Nike Smoke post HERE
After the two sides were glued together, medium thickness CA glue drops were set into any concave seams and dimples.
After it thoroughly dries, the rasied CA is sanded to the surface of the cone.
I've used Chris' method twice now and it works great. Use thick CA and when you sand it won't come out like filler often does.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteThanks - the medium or thick CA does work for gap filling on most plastics. I'm glad some of the blog techniques are working for you.
