Set the EPP parts in place on a fuse side as
shown to see where they go.
Lay the other fuse side in place.
Tape the tail end of the fuse sides together so
that they stay aligned.
When all is okay, use a medium bead (1/16 inch
or so) of poly glue in the middle of the EPP foam.
Do both sides.
Use a square to make sure that the parts align
perfectly. Check all the way around.
When satisfied with the alignment, use pins to
keep everything in place until cured. You can use
small weights as well, just double check with your
square before you walk away.
Allow to cure completely.
Once cured we can finish up the fuse.
Glue the aft fuse former in place. You can use
CA or poly glue.
Using a tiny bead of poly glue, attach the aft fuse
top and bottom. Note that the top goes between
the sides and the bottom goes on top of the
sides.
Use pins to hold the top and bottom in exact
position until cured.
Use sandpaper to rough up the plastic hinge, and
flex it a few dozen times to
“break it in”.
Use a teeny bead of poly glue to glue the fuse at
the tail.
Glue the hinge in place, between the sides about
¼ inch from the bottom. Make sure that the joint
on the hinge is right at the surface.
Only glue the last 1/8 inch or so of the fuse sides.
Pin until cured.
