Default RE: Balsa USA enforcer

Iv gotta ask the question again regarding that slot.
You say that a 3/8" overlap is needed and also the right stuff
for sealing the joins to stop spent fuel getting under the whole thing.
Well im ok on that but as this a tad different from anything iv covered
im concerned about the joins..surely you must have to use a patch in the
slot way bigger than the excess that gets cut near the bone and folded over?
Thas ok but a small patch to do this would mean im worried about it coming off
even if the nail varnish etc works. Do you blokes use a "Balsa lock" to make sure
its ok?...or even spray the slot with fuel proofer to make sure the Monokote or
whatever is stuck real well?

I hate a model thats tatty after a month or so ....really hacks me off!!
