With all the rain in S.California it has taken me some time to finally finish this easy build. I sealed the fins with 4 coats of Deluxe Materials Sand N Seal and finished by spraying Krylon white and purple, no primer. Once again I am impressed with the Deluxe Materials Sand N Seal for a smooth balsa finish. Aerogloss is my favorite but this is a close second. This stuff is nice because I can seal the fins inside when it is cold in the garage. Also I don't have to worry about getting the sealer on the fillets like I do with dope sealers. Aerogloss sealer provides a smooth finish but Midwest is no longer making their product. I have tried Sig sealer, thinned with different ratios and it does not come close to Aerogloss or Deluxe Materials Sealer. Brodak makes a sealer that I will try as a replacement for Aerogloss and will let you guys know how that works. I like to keep my builds simple since I have multiple hobbies going on at the same time. Working on my rubber powered kits, plastic models, rockets and RC kits. All my hobby builds are the same, keep it simple and clean.:wink:
