Pic. 2. Dry run fit. (make sure all 4 blades LE touch the pins and that the hubs are flush with one another. One can't be higher than the other.

Pic. 3. You will need the following; especially the vasaline, a large fender washer to cover the entire hub diameter and BVM AeroPoxy glue. A substitute epoxy glue can be Hardman white fiber filled thick epoxy glue from Wildmann graphics. DO NOT USE any other type of epoxy. These props are very hard and dense woods.

Pic. 4. Coat all surfaces with epoxy.

Pic. 5. Lay wax paper down and lube up the bolts threads.

Pic. 6. Lay wax paper on top followed by the washer and screw down snuggly but not so tight that all the glue oozes out. Allow to dry for 24 hours.

Pic. 7. Remove and inspect and file or trim away epoxy blobs. Scuff, paint and clear coat. After clear coat is fully cured, Throw onto a balancer and set one pair of blades horizontal. The lighter side gets a shot of more clear as required to balance. Then rotate 90 degrees to the other pair of blades and repeat balance. Then rotate 45 degrees so as your looking at a letter X and balance. The lighter side of the X gets a shot of clear on the 2 tips. The prop should balance throughout + & X at every 90 deg. position.
