2" wide fiberglass tape can be applied to the wing center joint (top and bottom) using the following method:
  1. Cut the tape to length - one piece from trailing edge, around the leading edge and back to the trailing edge.
  2. Lightly spray one side of the tape with a spray adhesive such as 3M "77".
  3. Center the tape on the wing center joint and press in place all the way around the wing.
  4. Flow THIN CA glue into the tape with a side-to-side motion. As the glass tape turns clear move down the tape until the complete length of the tape is glued. Remove any extra glue with a clean rag. Try not to flood the tape with excess glue as it will cure quickly, causing bumps and snags in the tape - bummer, more sanding.
  5. When the CA has cured, sand the joint lightly to remove any rough spots. Try not to sand into the fiberglass tape itself.

I just followed the directions.[/TD]

You did not work on the wing saddle area which is on the fuselage. You worked on the wing joint.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link; in this case the layer of 3M "77".

My previous posting is still applicable.
Perhaps some other fellow may help better than I.
I would have questioned these instructions.

Merry Christmas
