<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I forgot, if you have disposable plastic syringes,
you can fill it with the epoxy/micro mixture,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>clip the tip at an angle at the diameter you want
and apply...may go over it with a small spatula</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or dip your little finger in a bit of 99% alcohol
and run it over the fillet......do a practice run before</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the real deal if you haven't tried this method
before.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would take the flange off.......then in order
to match the contour of the cheeks' base</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to the fuselage, put some stick back sand paper
on the fuselage, where the cheeks </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>will be glued, then move the cheeks back and
forth or up and down to sand to shape.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>120 grit should do....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for gluing, you can tack glue with CA or 5
minute epoxy, then come back with a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>fairly dry mixture of micro balloons and slow
cure epoxy and make a small fillet all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>around....Once dry, use a small diameter dowel
and wrap sticky back sand paper</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on it to sand the fillet.....should be easy
and the fillet adds about 2 grams to each</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheek....about 1/8" diameter fillet should
do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Before gluing, scuff the the areas that glue will
be applied to with 220ish</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>grit paper lightly </FONT><FONT face=Arial

;-)</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>All,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm building a Hydeout and its about finished.
One of the last things I need to do is glue on the cheek cowls. I could use
some advice on how others did this. The cheek cowls have about a 1/2"
flange. The fuse sides are not perfectly flat and I'm dot sure how to hold
them in place as they dry. So here are a few questions for those of you who
have done this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>1.) What glue did you use?</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>2.) Did you keep the flange or cut some of it off?</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.) How did you hold it in place as the glue
dries?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your advice!</FONT>
