FlisKits Honest John Build, Part 6, Primer, Fin Gluing and Paint

The fins and lugs were stuck down on their root edges for a shot of primer.
The body tube was set on a dowel end for a primer coat.





The kit supplied marking guide ends didn't quite match up.

I made my own marking guide out of a wrap of paper, folded in quarters.







The body tube was sanded and roughed up where the fin root edges would glue.

I waited to glue the lower lug and standoff after doing the fin fillets. The lower lug would be in the way and make the fin fillets hard to do.

The first white coat showed some grain in the basswood fins.
This will take some fine sanding with 400 grit before the next white coat.
