Dr. Zooch Saturn 1 SA-5 Build Part 20 Nozzles

After the glue has dried on the start of the Popielium band you can begin wrapping the line.

Using a toothpick, white glue is applied down the line just 3/4" at a time.
When the glue starts to set up, place the glued part of the line down.

Use your toothpick tip to straighten it out as you go.



When that first 3/4" of line is tacked down, glue a little more and continue the wrap.
The line should go straight around the nozzle, parallel to the nozzle edge.






When you finish the first complete wrap, angle the line up a little at the seam and continue on a second wrap.





Once again, as you go, straighten out the line with the tip of the toothpick while the glue is still workable. These bands should be evenly spaced and straight. The only place where the line is angled is back at the paper nozzle seam, where you are setting the line for the next parallel wrap. This angled section at the seam will not be easily seen on the finished model.
