If you have never worked with fiberglass there are a few
basic things you should be aware of:
1. When you are cutting into fiberglass, be sure you are
cutting the correct place. Unlike wood, you are not able to
go back and easily fix a mistake.
2. Whenever you are gluing a part to the inside of fiberglass
it is important to roughen the inside surface of the fiberglass
with 220-grit sandpaper. Then wipe the area with alcohol.
The molding process leaves a waxy residue that can prevent
a good bond between the glue and the parts being glued.
3. If you do not have a high-speed motor tool such as a
Dremel
® tool, you should consider purchasing one or
borrowing one from a fellow modeler. This combined with a
fiberglass cut-off wheel is going to be extremely helpful in
the assembly process.
WARNING: The cowl, wheel pants and fuselage included in
this kit are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which may
cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never blow
into a part to remove fiberglass dust, as the dust will blow
back into your eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a particle
mask and rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding
fiberglass parts. Vacuum the parts and the work area
thoroughly after working with fiberglass parts.
