Hi all,
A couple of nights ago, I sanded off the seam on my Phantom's centerline fuel tank. The night before, I glued the tank together with liquid glue and let the gooey, liquidized plastic ooze out of the seam. That way, I could sand the dried ooze down and make the seam disappear. This is nothing new; I've read that tip so often that I'm convinced that’s how liquid glue is supposed to work.
Generally this technique works pretty well for me, but the fuel tank is small and has a much smaller circumference than, for example, the fuselage. So, while sanding just the seam on the bottom, I managed to create a bit of a flat spot.
I'm using Testors sanding films, and they're pretty flexible, so for the top of the tank, I tried to wrap the sand paper around the tank more. I ended up sanding more of the tank on either side of the seam, but the seam wasn't as flat as on the bottom.
It there a technique that makes this easier?
Regards,
