Gluing Guide Pins
With some glues, you only have one shot at placing doublers correctly! Assemble the doubler and fuselage side dry (i.e., without glue), make sure everything is properly aligned, and place T-pins or headless brads around the parts, as shown. Remove the doubler, coat the area with glue, and slide the doubler back down between the pins. This ensures correct alignment the first time! ILLUSTRATION BY JIM NEWMAN
