One of those "Ohhhhh NOOOOOOO!" moments!

So I have been working on a Estes Star Orbiter over the last week. It was coming along really nicely with tapered and papered fins, A good set of the motor mount. Spirals filled on the BT primed, sanded, got the fins on nice and straight. Only thing left is the fillets!

Hey! that looks pretty good.

Then I picked it up and turned it over.....

Learned my lesson, do them one at a time!

 

Heat will soften epoxy. Might be able to peel them carefully off and start over.

 

Yep, at least with liquidy epoxy, you can do two facing fillets at a time.

Another benefit of wood glue: with TB Quick and Thick you can do them all at once and they won’t run.

 

It has cured for over 12 hours. Too late for that I think.

 

Ugh too late for an edit. But quick question.

Do you guys whom use wood glue also use it for the motor mount, tubes and rings?

 

These days I often use epoxy to glue the MMT into the body, just due to its lack of grabbing.

 

Never too late to use heat. It WILL soften it up. Once it gets soft, most times it will scrape right off. I will then just let it cool, sand area again and reglue.
