Semroc Wac Corporal Build, Part 8, Second Coat Of Primer/Filler




Normally, one coat of CWF then sanding - 
and a spray of primer/filler and sanding,
takes care of the balsa grain. Not today.

Before sanding the filler/primer I had to rub some CWF into the remaining visible grain.

Keep this CWF rubbed in filler thin and close to he surface.





After sanding down the filler/primer, you could see the remaining high spots left from the initial fin shaping. I wanted the surface to have a nice, rounded profile.

Sanding did take down the raised areas but also cut int the CWF underneath and into the balsa.

This will need another sealing shot of filler/primer and sanding.

The root edge was masked off again using tapered pieces of masking tape.

Onto some scrap cardboard to spray one side.
That long masking tape strip has the sticky side facing up to hold the fins for spraying.

Spray one side and let dry.
flip over the fins and spray the other side.
