Hi,

 

One of the most useful tips I was given when bonding on the fuselage top was to make a bundle of “bent hair clips” from fencing wire, i.e. 2-3 mm diameter wire. The clips can be clipped onto the flange of the fuselage top at intervals of about 300 to 400 mm, so that when the top is lowered onto the Reduxed flange of the fuselage bottom, the Redux is not wiped off.  

 

See attached photograph.

 

As soon as the fuselage halves are together, the clips are removed and the cleco-ing / self-tapping commenced.

 

Works an absolute treat.

 

The other tips already offered are spot on – icing sugar bags to pipe the Redux on.  Mix the Redux in modest batches, i.e. half a disposable plastic cup full at a time, definitely at least a two-person job, but pretty straightforward.

 

Enjoy...!

 

Regards,

 

Dave
