Separate the lid form the 1/16 ply top.
Sand the little tabs on the inside of the top and
outside of the lid.
Glue the 1/16 ply top to the radio box.
It has a slightly larger hole for the lid, so try to center
it so that the “lip” is even all around.
Make sure that you don’t get any glue in the “lip”, as
it will interfere with the way the lid seats.
The lid will be sealed with tape when running the
boat.
Sand the entire box with 220.
Stand back and admire your awesome radio box!
If you have the optional Lexan® radio box lid, you
can toss the 1/16 ply version.
If not, hold onto it.
Back to the boat:
Make sure that it has been at least 3 hours since
you glued the bottom sheeting to the hull.
With your plane, remove the overhang of the bottom
sheets at the sides.
Sand all over with 80. Do this while the boat is still
attached to the jig, as it is far easier than trying to do
it in your lap!
Sand the bottom flush with the sides.
This is quick and easy at the rear. Towards the
front, the angle gets pretty sharp, and you have to
remove quite a bit of material.
Take your time and sand all corners flush.
