Hi! William ,
Ok just use a smear of the redux mixed in liquid form to impregnate the
scuffed surfaces then mix up quite a stiff mix with flox which is for the
purpose of stiffening so that the resulting blob won't actually drip off
your mixing stick and apply the blob to the relevant surfaces. I would then
cover one of the assemblies with one layer of cling film and be careful when
assembling the wing to mate up the Tufnell surfaces so there is no chance of
any such squeezed out excess bonding the two bellcranks together.
Somewhere in the manual there is an instruction as to the procedure of
adding the flox but from my experiences so long as all the fibres of the
flox are coated it is pretty broard spectrum fool proof. Incidentally if you
have any of the very thinnest of the tuffnell left over I could do with a
couple of bits.!

Subject: Europa-List: Tufnell bonding to quick connect bellcrank
Hello everyone
I have been trying to bond the piece of Tufnall to the fuselage aerolon
quick connect bellcrank. Problem is that the redux simply flows out the
bottom of the joint. It is too runny! The build manual describes assembling
the wings and letting the bond set in order to achieve a perfect fit. I am
sure this problem must have been surmounted by all the builders and it has
probably been discussed before. A link to the answer would be appreciated.
Thanks William Bliss G-WUFF
