Notices for the construction of the model
Before building of the model, be sure to study the manual from start to finish. Be
aware of the potential dangers associated with the use of tools.
Clean all oily residue off of the surfaces to be adhered prior to adhering them. This
can be achieved with light sanding and a non-oily cleanser. Prior to adhering parts,
make sure to roughen the corresponding surfaces (especially with GRP hulls)
carefully using a fine sandpaper and be sure to thoroughly remove all grease and oil
using acetone, etc. Otherwise, sufficient adhesion cannot be guaranteed.
Required tool for the construction of ASH 31 MI
Pencil (hardness HB), all-purpose pen, geometry triangle, as well as a measuring
tape or meter stick, household scissors, a thin and sharp knife - such as a balsa
knife Order No. 980, small electric drill, various spiral drills, Allen wrenches, injection
syringe Order No. 729.3.

Areas of the hull without pull-away material which are to be adhered must be sanded
using a fine grain sandpaper in order to remove any remaining release agent. Wipe
away sanding dust. In the process, the shiny surface of the hull must always become
matte
,
otherwise a good adhesion of the adhesive with the hull cannot be assured.
To join the individual parts with one another, make sure to following the
corresponding instructions for use provided on the adhesive. Additional adhesives
can be found in the FS catalog.
