<u>Step 8</u>: (continued)

Use your microballoons mixture to start filling in areas with sharp, compound curves; narrow, hard to get to areas; and to radius those corners.

Pictured below, is my P-39 cowl. Here, I am using a flux brush to "paint" the filler materialin the corner and up the sides just a little. Remember, even if it is relatively thick, gravity will want to make this stuff settle in the bottom, somewhat.

One of the things I learned to do is to paint it up the sides a little (don't get too carried awayoryou are just adding dead weight), so that when it does settle to the bottom slowly, it will pool a most at the bottom,and a little less and less the higher you go up the sides. In other words, itends up withthat gentle curve to radius the corner, just as I wanted.
