 J-3 Cub Construction Project Session #10

J-3 Cub Deck Inlay Complete
 
Sue and I got up early this morning went to the fitness center for our 1-1/2 hour work out at Arlington Memorial hospital. We got back home around 9:00 a.m. I got a cup of coffee and immediately started working on inlaying the forward deck on the J-3 Cub. I used water on my finger tips to work each inlay piece with aliphatic glue on its perimeter into its slot. Damp fingers helped to conform the soft balsa pieces in their slots and to smooth out the glue on the top as well as inside. I finished cutting and gluing in all twelve of the pieces as shown below. This will be allowed to set and completely dry before I start trimming and sanding the deck into a smooth convex surface.
 
Just for completeness, I took this picture from the inside of the deck. This technique worked really well for me.....................Tandy
