| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 01-Apr-17 09:34 |  | | Views : 332 | | The cladding is glued to the prop and the white template paper is bent up so it does not glue. The two balsa strips used to pin down the prop, actually smeared and dented the one-week old Krylon clear finnish - I substituted some padding, for both sides of the prop, using some peel and stick balck styrofoam padding stuck to the pin down strips - that styrofoam padding is used for air conditioner draft seals. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 01-Apr-17 09:26 |  | | Views : 317 | | The white template is masking taped to the prop, and I brushed on a thin layer of 5 min epoxy to the wood - the cladding really wanted to slip and move around out of posiiton on a practise blade, which is why I used a template to make sure it was in the right positon as the glue dried. |
