Rotisserie of rocket airframe, yummy. I have now applied the coat of finishing epoxy with add of colloidal silica. This epoxy is formulated to fill gaps and is very easy to sand. Next step will be a ton of sanding, then more sanding. Eventually it will be ready for a few coats of primer filler followed by more sanding.
Once I get the primer coats complete, I try to recut the parts at the two joints you can see. These are also sleeved and I hope I can separate them. Once separated, I fix/fill chips and nicks from separating, sand some more. It may then need some additional primer filler. After that, it should be ready for the first coat of paint.
Uncrackable !!!
