The beer is on tap, the meat is marinading and Mrs Pitt has baked 3 cakes for the weekend!!! So where will you be on Saturday afternoon - come hell or high water (hopefully not much of either of those) - England don't play until Sunday so you cannot use that as an excuse not to be there. The weather reports are for brisk winds but sunny periods expected so flyin or drive in to Popham for the AGM on Saturday afternoon and the BBQ thereafter. See you there.

Rehearse the process first with several helpers. Don't try to mix the whole amount in one batch/container so as to be too hard to handle. If you have glued with redux before, you know how thick to get the glue with the flox. It is important not to be too thin or too thick. You probably aren't but don't use screws as they suck the skins down too tight leaving an indentation at each screw which has to be filled later. Scrape off extra glue that oozes out of seam but don't unduly disturb the fuselage skins in doing so.
