Wear a mask when using this stuff... One pump from the resin (105) and one pump from the hardener (206). Mix for a minute then slowly add in filler.... It took a lot more filler than I thought it would to get it to peanut butter consistency, which is what you want for making fillets. Just keep adding about a tablespoon at a time until you get there.
At this point, never having done this before, I have no idea what I'm doing... First I tried using a Bondo spreader to apply it, but I found it was actually easier to apply with a gloved hand's finger (had latex gloves on both hands). So, I just spread it in the gap to try and fill it. Whether I'm doing it right, I have no idea. We'll find out tomorrow (or Tuesday) when I sand it down. For all I know, I'll have to add another layer for it to be a good transition and smooth.
Front view. How will it come out? We'll see!
NEXT TASKS:
- Composite filler sanding.
- Rivet the one on the step rib that needs special handling. OK, I've been putting this off..
- Finish right wing.
- Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
- Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
- START ON FUSELAGE!
