Keel
Bulbs |

|
After a few coats
of primer and gloss you will have a smooth and
streamlined
keel bulb. The ScaleSailing bulb halves are easy
to work with.
|

|
The lead keel bulb
is supplied as two
cast halves. The two castings are
epoxied either side of a wood core
at the base of the fin. |
The gaps between the
lead halves and
the wood core are filled with car body
filler.Aim
for a circular cross section and
build up a nice round nose and tail.
Wear a dust mask.
|

|

|
With just a little
work you can get very
close to a circular cross section.Always
paint the bulb as soon as it is
fitted to the fin to reduce handling of
the bare metal.
|
|

|
In the latest kits
the bulb halves come ready painted with primer on
the outer surfaces. They are assembled and filled
in the same way as shown above.
