Semroc Goblin Build Part 7 Nose Cone Grain Filling

Enlarge the picture at the right and you can see the brush strokes.

On a nose cone, brush from the tip down forcing the filler into the grain.
When you get about half way down the nose cone, the grain becomes longer and more apparent.

Just like on the fins:
On the lower half of the nose cone, brush first with the grain.

While the filler is still wet, brush against the grain. In the picture you can see the brush strokes on the lower half going at an angle, against the balsa grain.

 

Before filling, the nose cone shoulder got a wrap of masking tape. The tape edge went right up against the shoulder lip.

After the CWF has dried, remove the tape but pull it away from the lip as shown.

If the tape were removed going around and not down, you might pull some of the filler out of the grain at the shoulder.
