found a freely available local hardware store glue which glues balsa in less than 2-3 seconds..."SPEEDY Brand" costs 20/- more i.e. 60/- for a 20ml bottle as compared to the two glue bottles which cost 40/- each which came with the kit "FLEX KWIK"... One flex kwik bottle exhausted so hence the above discovery.

Sharing the progress update... Finished gluing the bottom and sides and top was cut open precisely using a table mounted jigsaw machine ;D.

bought polyester putty 1 kg for 140/- from an auto paints shop as 1/2 kg tin is not available in my area...  >:(

Before applying putty is it necessary to sand the whole hull's outer surface smooth??? :headscratch:

For mixing putty I plan to use an old cdrom drives cover...or should i use sweetmeat plastic box?? :headscratch: :headscratch:

applying putty from outside is mandatory I feel so :headscratch: after drilling hole for the stuff tube and the rudder axle tube.

nicely shaped.. kneed a little putty at a time, and apply it within a minute.. and mix again, and apply.. this putty will be hardened within two or three minutes..  :thumbsup:
