Prepare and fit the pre-mould strip
Turn the wing upside down and wedge the wing so that the top surface is level and solid.
Remove the peel cloth from the pre-mould strip (front of the flat part and both sides of the
curved rib) and sand lightly. Remove the peel cloth from the wing recess in front of the
aileron and sand carefully. Remove all dust from the area.
Protect the outboard end of the flap from any excess resin or flock by covering it in brown
packing tape. For each wing, mix a 280g batch of resin, and divide into a 240g batch and a
40g batch. Add flock to the 240g batch of resin and mix it in thoroughly.
Apply a layer of flock to the recess on the wing – the layer should be around 3 to 5mm above
the level of the wing.
Using the 40g batch of resin, coat the curved part of the wing and the front of the curved rib
on the pre-mould strip, then apply a D-shaped layer of flock to the bottom of the curved rib –
the layer should be as wide as the bottom of the curve and about 10mm deep.
