Padubon Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Both the clear resin square and round inspection windows on the rear lower fuselage wont fit, therefore I decided to fill them with thick CA glue. I am going to let it dry for a couple of days and see how much I have to add after it stinks. So far so good.

If it does just put a layer or two or three of Future on it. Edited June 15, 2020 by amurray LSP_Kevin, Kagemusha, BradG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked this morning and it shrunk quite a bit, I added some more and it stayed clear. I like the future idea, I hope it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Almost worth putting something like woodlands scenic magic water into these window areas. I believe that the woodlands stuff doesn't shrink. Shawn M and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 You can't maybe sand and polish it up a bit? Kagemusha and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 From using CA as a filler myself, I'd say if you take some Mr Surfacer 500 or other and fill the crinkles in the cured CA, you can probably fill those and sand them flush.

Padubon Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 The problem is that somehow it created a bunch of little bubbles at different levels. I already drill it out and my repair is actually turning out a little better. I was frustrated but I am a bit enthused about it. This is from early today.

Padubon Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Ok, I think this time is going to work. I used Bondic clear resin and is holding well. I hope it dries as advertised. I’ll wait a couple of days before sanding. Cross my fingers! Dragon, BradG, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 So far, so good. This is right after sanding. This is after polishing. I think I got it this time. BradG, Landrotten Highlander, Dragon and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Looks good! The true test will likely come with a spritz of primer or paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
