Still working on getting the tubes into the pop-ups with number three setting up now.
The first one, however, is now getting the mating tubes glued in. First job was building dams.
I plugged the tube ends with 6 minute epoxy to keep the JB Weld out before filling the area with the JB Weld.
The thing I have to watch out for here is keeping good alignment, so when things settled some after fussing with it, I taped over the JB Weld, attached the other shell and taped the pop-up into place.
