2. Mix epoxy in mixing cup and use a tapered stick
to apply the epoxy inside the pre-drilled holes in
the trailing edge of the fin. Apply epoxy to one
side of each hinge and insert the hinge com-
pletely into the hole. Ensure the hinge axis is
vertical and parallel to the trailing edge of the fin
before epoxy cures. Wipe away excess epoxy
with alcohol wetted wipes.
3. Epoxy the hinges into the fin first and allow ep-
oxy to fully cure.
4. Mix epoxy in mixing cup and use a tapered stick
to apply the epoxy inside the pre-drilled holes in
