Redux and flox would be OK, if you use peel ply (recommended) with care you
should get a nice shape=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A___________________________

sted by: Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw268@gmail.com>=0A=0AGidday,=0AThanks to R
ichard Wheelwright, Richard Collings, and Ron Parigoris for their replies r
egarding TE Lift Pin Sockets. I had to move all 4 of my lift pin socket pla
tes from the sides of the fuselage, due to them being in the wrong position
, and no, my dimensions are correct. A bunch of other builders, well at lea
st one other, have had to move plates. So, the rear plates were extracted a
nd moved from the outside due to access with the cockpit module in the way.
Suffice to say I have a buildup over the plates that whilst over the top o
f the plates it is flat, as you migrate outward, I have multiple plies of c
loth including the mandatory 4 plies of BID for reinforcement. So, whilst I
like curves of the feminine sense, I hate them otherwise. I've got curves
going off in all directions and I'm just hopeless at the trial and error of
shaping ply. I have an admission, I love car bog. Polyester resin mixed wi
th talc. Easy to sand, easy to shape. I am wondering if
rather than ply I coul!=0Ad apply car bog over the plate area, shape it ni
cely, and then layup over the top of it. It aint going to crack away or mig
rate anywhere as it is captive by the BID, and should remain "in"compressib
le, certainly no more than ply. Or, if the car bog is the issue, why not ap
ply it, shape it, splash it, fill it with redux and flox, and redux it back
on? I can build most of the kit but when it comes to multiple fit and sand
, fit and sand, etc, I know most will think it an easy thing, but I struggl
e and simply don't enjoy it. So, any other options??=0ARegards=0ATony Rensh
