I know I'm not finished with the capsule and tower, but to work around paint dry times I'll probably have to jump around a bit.
The large diameter tubes had some rough edges. It's understandable, big thin tubes are hard to cut. A few passes with a sanding block easily cleaned up the edges.
The seams were traced with a pencil line so they were easier to see.
A knife blade tip is dipped in thinned CWF and one side is wiped off on the jar.
The remaining CWF is dragged back and forth in the pencil line seam. The knife edge guides the filler into the seam. Don't cut into the tube, just drag the blade and place the filler in the seam.
I no longer scrape down the excess filler, the raised bead is sanded to surface after it dries.
That's a LOT of tube seams to fill!
