 2. Place the joiner on the work surface. With the
square aligned with the high point of the joiner, use
a pencil to make the centerline on the joiner.
 3. Slide the joiner into the appropriate wing panel
up to the line drawn in the previous step. If the
joiner does not slide in easily, it may be necessary
to lightly sand the joiner to correct the fit. Repeat
the process to fit the joiner into both wing panels.
 4. Place a T-pin lightly in the center of the joiner.
This will allow the joiner to fit centered in each
wing panel when installed.
 5. Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy and
using an epoxy brush apply the epoxy to the root
of one wing panel.
 6. Use a mixing stick to apply the epoxy into the
joiner pocket of the wing panel.
 7. Apply epoxy to the end of the wing joiner that
will be inserted into the wing panel. Make sure to
cover the front, back, top and bottom of the joiner.
 8. Slide the joiner into the wing panel. Work slowly
so the epoxy can be cleaned using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol as the joiner is inserted into
the panel. Once the joiner is inserted, apply epoxy
to all edges of the exposed joiner.
Excess epoxy will ooze out of the joiner pocket as
the joiner is inserted. If it does not, you have not
used enough epoxy. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to apply
more epoxy to the joiner and into the joiner pocket.
