•
When you see the
term test
fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue
, then slightly modify or
custom fit
the
part as necessary for the best fit.
•
Whenever the term
glue
is written you should rely
upon your experience to decide what type of glue to use.
When a specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
Whenever just
epoxy
is specified you may use
either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy
or
6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is
highly
recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
•
Photos
and
sketches
are placed
before
the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
