subscribed! This is a great build and I am so envious of your skills!

Earlier you gave this tip.
Builders Tip: Now that the edges of the sheeting are jointed, you still have one more thing to do before you start spreading the glue. On the inside edge that will be butted up to the next sheet, sand a small bevel. The reason for doing this is to give clearance to the very small bead of glue that squeezed out and dried on the other sheet. This bevel will allow the two sheets to more closely butt up to one another.
Early in the build you bevel pieces to give a greater surface area for the glue. Wouldn't this tip reduce the area and make the bond weaker?
I have 3 kits that have been waiting for my kid to move out so I can have a hobby room. I have my room now. 22 years later.

thanks
