Wendy Continues...STEP 7: Adhering your finished panel to fuselage.
Temporarily tape all panels onto fuselage to verify everything fits perfectly before scuffing backside of each panel with 100-grit sandpaper. This will assist the epoxy used to adhere each Styrene panel to grip each panel. Next, mix a small amount of 5 minute epoxy. Use a small acid brush to apply thin coat of epoxy onto back of each panel.

Note: When using 5 minute epoxy you have to work fast. Keep alcohol soaked paper towels ready to wipe away excess epoxy which squeezes from beneath panel edges. Make sure each panel sets up (epoxy cures) completely before moving onto next panel. This prevents panels from moving out of position while applying epoxy to adjacent panels.
