Enerjet by Aerotech, Arreauxbee-Hi, Part 4, Plastic Parts Prep




There are mold lines on either sides of the nose cone tip.

Sand the high spots first while maintaining the roundness of the cone taper. Don't sand flats into the curved sides. You'll be left with the lower seams below the surface.
These dips were lightly marked with pencil.
I used my Dollar Tree CA glue as a filler.

Draw a bead of glue down the line and let dry. Only use the glue on one side and let dry before using on the other side. Set the nose cone on its side for the glue to dry. Bear in mind, the glue can and will run if it is not allowed to dry horizontally. It will take a while for a CA glue bead to dry.

After one side dries, turn it over and apply to the other side.
Sand the dried glue with 220 grit then 400 grit to smooth.




There were some molding lines on the flat faces of the fins.

Sand with 400 grit on a block.
