now. Test fit the fin in place on top of the stabilizer. Check to see
that the fin sits flush and perpendicular to the stabilizer.

epoxy. Apply a coat of epoxy to the bottom of the fin and to
the exposed wood on the stab. With the fin in place, sight the
model from the front to make sure the fin is absolutely 90
degrees upright to the stab. If needed, use masking tape to
hold it in alignment until the epoxy cures. Wipe off any excess
glue with rubbing alcohol and a soft paper towel. Let the epoxy
completely cure.
