Giant Bullet Prop

Step 4: Epoxy Everything Together

I epoxied all the wooden components to the metal fire extinguisher using 5 minute epoxy. The first part I epoxied to the fire extinguisher was the wooden tip that was turned on the lathe. I stood the fire extinguisher vertically and put the tip on. I viewed the tip from all angles in order to see if it looks straight. After making sure it was straight when viewed from all angles, I allowed the epoxy to dry.

The next piece that was epoxied to the fire extinguisher was the bottom of the shell. After making sure that the bottom of the shell was straight and epoxied, I used a piece of clay in order hide the seam between the metal extinguisher and the wood. Then, I let it dry and used a scotch-brite pad to smooth and blend everything together.
