Default Glue Fillets

Hey everyone. Something I am wondering about is adding glue fillets to all joints after the majority of construction is done. Does everyone do this, or do some of you not bother. I have started construction on my first kit ( a 4*60 ) and am using Titebond 3. So far everything is going great. A couple of small mistakes, but to me and what I've read on other builds, nothing to sweat about. The wing halves are 75% done, but not joined or sheeted. I did put the dihedral brace in the wing halves, clamped them together and weighted one wing half down to my board and got 1 7/8 in. measurement on the opposite wing tip. Very little gap at the two W1 ribs at the joint. Both halves seem to be straight, so I guess I must be on the right track so far. I must agree with most of you when you say this is addictive. I am having a blast doing this build. Also, starting to think about the next kit.

P.S. If anyone has some good tips for the glue fillets, please let me know. I am planning on doing them.

Thanks
