Hi,
One of the most useful tips I was given when bonding on the fuselage top was
to make a bundle of "bent hair clips" from fencing wire, i.e. 2-3 mm
diameter wire. The clips can be clipped onto the flange of the fuselage top
at intervals of about 300 to 400 mm, so that when the top is lowered onto
the Reduxed flange of the fuselage bottom, the Redux is not wiped off.
See attached photograph.
As soon as the fuselage halves are together, the clips are removed and the
cleco-ing / self-tapping commenced.
Works an absolute treat.
The other tips already offered are spot on - icing sugar bags to pipe the
Redux on. Mix the Redux in modest batches, i.e. half a disposable plastic
cup full at a time, definitely at least a two-person job, but pretty
straightforward.
Enjoy...!
Regards,
Dave
