I am using a SIG Smith Miniplane 2 piece cowl on a current project. I have no experience with assembling cowls. Can someone give me a quick overview of the official SIG assembly approach? Yes, I have done some research on best practices when assembling ABS cowls, just need to know how SIG thinks it should be done.
TIA,
I had to
build one recently and I used CA glue. Also used pieces of the molding to install on the inside surface of the seams to reinforce them. The CA seemed to almost melt the plastic a little which yielded a very solid bond. Smoothed over edges with microballoons. Had to do some wet sanding to get a good paint finish but the finished result
looks nice I think.
