CWF was brushed on just over the shoulder lip. While the filler is still wet, push it into the body tube and turn.
This raises a bead of filler around the shoulder lip. Remove the nose cone.
After the filler dries, the sides are sanded with 400 grit on a block.
When this nose cone was machined, it had a slight dip in the sides.
On the left, the pencil lines show where the balsa was high. I had to apply more filler to the center low areas.
That horizontal pencil line below the command module is a reference line for sanding a straight line around the body.
The nose cone required a third pass of CWF to fill some low areas that still showed under a bright light.
