TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 30, Primer/Filer and Sand




After sanding down the CWF on the vane pads the edges were coated with medium CA glue. The CWF is brittle and would break off the edges.
After the CA glue dried the pieces were sanded smooth with 400 grit.



The fins and pads were stuck down to a board for primer spraying.
The fins were shot then flipped over for coating on the other side.
Here's a pad and lower fin after sanding down the primer/filler to surface.
The wider grain balsa on the pads needed grain filling with CWF then primer/filler. The lower basswood fins don't require any CWF filler. The one coat of primer/filler is enough to fill any of the fine grain.
The center line of the fin is well defined now. Even sanding the primer/filler to the line helps sharpen the line.
