Filled Holes in R5-D4 Utility Arms for Droid #2, Started Gluing R5-D4 Framed Front Skin Panels

Tonight I started filling in the holes on the utility arms that will be painted red for droid #2

In the past I have used Evercoat 2-part glazing putty, but it can be hard to find, and somewhat expensive. This time, I went to O'Reilly Auto Parts and picked up some of this 1-part glazing putty, which is less expensive and comes in a reasonably sized tube.



I applied it in relatively thin layers, using a razor blade. This is always an iterative process.





While that dries overnight, I used GE Silicone II to affix the framed skin pieces to the red panels.



I used a toothpick to clear out excess silicone.



I used my little binder clips to squeeze the two panels together. I'll let this dry overnight as well.
