Estes Blue Origin New Shepard Build, Part 8, Tunnel Top Fillets




Glue fillets were applied using a Q-Tip.
Force the glue into the cracks. Pick up as much of the excess glue as you can. 
You'll want these inside surfaces smooth.







Here's a closeup.

I'd recommend using white glue. 
White glue will dry clear.


After the fillets,

I masked off the upper (pre-painted) nose cone and the shoulder below the tunnel tops and recess ring.

I needed to spray paint the tunnel tops and whiten the yellow glue fillets.

The paint was sprayed and showed there was still some fillet bubble gaps.
This time less glue was directed into the holes with a toothpick tip.

Again, use a Q-Tip to remove excess glue. 
After the glue dried, another mask and gloss white spray painting followed again.
