are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two wing halves
together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Use care that you
do not crush the wing by using too much force. Use rubbing
alcohol and a paper towel to clean off the excess epoxy. There
should not be any gap between the wing halves.

large, flat surface. With one wing panel lying flat on the surface,
the opposite wing tip should be propped up exactly 4

the surface. Allow the wing joint to dry overnight.
Note: It’s a good idea to place a sheet of waxed paper under
the center joint of the wing so any excess epoxy
doesn’t adhere to the surface of the work area. Use
rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to wipe off any
excess epoxy.
