Note: Read through the remaining steps of
this section before mixing any epoxy.
Hint: It is extremely important to use plenty
of epoxy when joining the wing panels. It will
also be helpful to use wax paper under the
wing joint to avoid gluing the wing to your
work surface.

Step 6
Mix approximately 1 ounce of 30-minute epoxy. Using
an epoxy brush, apply a generous amount of epoxy to the
wing joiner cavity of one of the wing panels.

Step 7
Completely coat half of the wing joiner with epoxy. Be sure
to apply epoxy to the top and bottom of the joiner also.
Insert the epoxy-coated side of the joiner into the wing
joiner cavity up to the mark on the joiner. If you have used
enough epoxy, it will ooze out of the cavity as the joiner is
installed. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol.

Step 8
Apply epoxy to the exposed portion of the wing joiner.

Step 9
Apply epoxy to root wing rib of both panels.

Step 10
Carefully slide the wing panels together. Apply enough
pressure to firmly seat the two wing panels together,
causing any excess epoxy to ooze out from between the
panels. Use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove
the excess epoxy. Check to make sure there are no visible
gaps between the panels.
