●
When you see the term
test fi t
in the instructions, it means
that you should fi rst position the part on the assembly
without using any glue
, then slightly modify or
custom
fi t
the part as necessary for the best fi t.
●
Whenever the term
glue
is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
●
We recommend 30-minute epoxy only, because you will
need the working time or the additional strength

the step they refer
