Default RE: Guillow's Spitfire Build

Next, after the laminates dried (I used yellow carpenter's glue) I remove the outlines from the board and trued up the insides with sanding block to get a better glue surface.

Then I fit the ribs to the LE/TE gap using my True Sander to get a good edge on the front of the ribs.

Then I glued in the ribs using Zap CA. Oh yeah, the LE/TE was pinned up on 1/16th shims so I had clearance for the rounded bottoms of the ribs.
