RE: What Finishing order is best when building a Profile and Why?

Hmmm. I just glued the wing in on my Sig Fazer. If I had read this first I probably would have covered it first, but .... covering my ProTwister assembled last year wasn't so bad.

As far as the wing joint goes, I used thin CA first, followed by medium to help with the gap filling and finally used slow cure epoxy mixed with mircroballoons for my fillet and a wetpinky to smooth it out. The instructions call for four pieces of fiberglass cloth to reinforce the joint but I'm pretty sure the fillet will be more than enough - if that lets go I'm sure to be doing some rebuilding anyways!
