IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

● Anytime a sheet metal screw is installed in wood, fi rst
install the screw, remove the screw and apply a couple
of drops of thin CA in the hole to harden the threads.
After the CA has cured, reinstall the screw.
● Anytime a threaded screw or nut is installed, a drop of
threadlocker must be applied to the threads. An exception,
do not use threadlocker on the screws installed in the
nylon control horns.
● Denatured alcohol is great for cleaning epoxy from
surfaces before the epoxy cures
● Replacement MonoKote colors
Jet White (TOPQ0204)
Black (TOPQ0208)
