You gonna bevel those fins?

Question:
What do you guys fill the groves in Blue Tube with?
Thank you. I hated doing the first time, I can't wait to do it for the second time.Elmers Wood Filler. Let it dry at least 48 hours, refill, then start your tube prep with sanding sealer.
Not sure how I missed this thread. Looking great, Chuck! This sure is a cool design Quaranta came up with. And judging by your build photos, you're every bit the craftsman I am!
Nice job Chuck. Wish someone would kit this one.

Why do I need to use sanding sealer?
2 reasons that i have found,
1 - Seals the surface of the BlueTube, also does a 'final fill' of the spirals. Both of these mean that the paint not only sticks to the surface better, it also saves on later sanding/smoother surface.
2 - The sanding sealer soaks into the fibers, seems to make the tube stronger, especially with normal LOC paper tubes. Slathering some inside of the tubes allows you to tighten up the coupler fit. Also helps with BP cleanup
oh chuck... i am rebuilding the Krakens!!!!
Poly is gonna get a makeover... how about Profusion Black FG?
Ready to be sanded <stops doing the happy dance>
