With the low end tip of the vane set at the tape wrap,
the vane is pressed in place down the pencil line.
Hold the vanes in place with tape as the glue sets up.
Go back and check the alignment to be sure there wasn't any movement. Epoxy is slippery!
Check the edges for any glue that may have squeezed out.
You can pick it up with a Q-tip.
I'm building three of the Strong Arm kits, you might notice one build with no seam fill or filler primer.
On one build, I glued the vanes on using Fabri-Tac with good results. Fabri-tac takes a while to dry, the bond felt as strong as the epoxy joints.
I had a few vane tips that ended up raised.
In the top picture, you can see the open end.
Here, I've used a wood glue fillet to fill the gap.
