Polecat rebuild continued ................

So the final piece was epoxied back into place and once the glue was dry I rubbed it down with medium glass paper. There wasn't a great deal of foam to foam contact area so this was going to be a weak area, so I added a piece of glass cloth over the top just to strengthen it up a little.

I then set about sanding over the entire fuselage before spreading light weight filler, or "spackle" as our American friends would call it, over its entire length, just to fill in the foam void holes and create a smooth surface for the laminate film to adhere to.

So now this is done and I'm ready to laminate. However, I thought I had some laminate film in my materials box but there wasn't enough, so I ended up having to order some more. Hopefully this will arrive by Friday so I can get on with it over the weekend.
