Image Comments sweetwillie 27-Apr-08 01:04 This is all I got done, all day, what with repairing stringers after my finger would break it. sweetwillie 27-Apr-08 01:07 I hope practice makes perfect. It just doesn't turn out like I had hoped. It all is in the beginning, and no matter how hard I try to get it exact. It doesn't come out good. Barnstormer 27-Apr-08 03:51 SW as long as the sheeting is attached well the priming sanding and filling and priming sanding and filling etc. will take care of it. Take your time and have patience it will be ok. RodN 27-Apr-08 04:30 I could not agree more Barnstormer. As long as the foundations are secure the finish will be determined by the patience of the builder. SW in the past I have also used cyano-acrylate glues (super glues) to hold down the sheeting, if you wet the balsa sheeting and gently pull it around the curves it will curl easily. The cyano glues are hydroscopic so the moisture in the balsa with aid in the very quick curing of the glue. If you use a thin cyano glue it will bond pretty much straight away. BTW great build SW. RodN 27-Apr-08 04:31 Sorry typing too fast!!!! I mean't "will aid". poppy 27-Apr-08 11:21 SW, you are doing fine. If you wet the wood and pat excess moisture off with a paper towel, it can be glued in place while still wet. LIGHTLY sand where joined, seal with dope or you preferred method, spray a coat of sandable primer, and fill with micro-fill or balsa filler. poppy 27-Apr-08 11:31 Testor's wood glue or thick CA works fine. Never tried with Elmer's. sweetwillie 27-Apr-08 13:26 Poppy, thanks for the encouragement. I had used the method of putting wet balsa and gluing it down before as an experiment, and it worked well. But I forgot about it until RodN reminded me of it. I,just now, put two pieces wet on and it worked very well. I forget things, and have to be reminded. Thanks for your help. And, also, I started using your method of applying filler, and it works very well for me. Please sign in to comment on this image.
