Estes Interceptor Build #1250, Part 11, Fillets

The fin root edges were glued on with yellow Carpenter's Glue. I don't initially use much, this way I can remove and re-position the fin if it ended up out of line.

A fillet of Carpenter's Wood Glue follows.
Then a second fillet of Titebond M&TG.
The ends are done first. Apply a small bead over the top of the fin and smooth out with a fingertip rounding over the tip joint.

Then do the sides.
The long wing fins fillet should be applied one half at a time. The Titebond M&TG skins over fairly quickly so do long fillet lines applications in two steps.
On the left is the applied glue bead right out of the bottle. The inset right side picture is the fillet smoothed out.
Apply the glue bead and smooth out with a fingertip. Smooth twice, the first time to even out and remove excess. The second time picks up any glue spread out too wide and away from the joint.
