Semroc Baby Orion Build Part 17 Wrap Install


I'd drawn the wraps wide with plenty of overlap.
The thickness of the paint probably widened the circumference of the tube.
A long strip of 110 lb cardstock was wrapped around the tube and the overlap point marked.




The cut length of the strip wrap was transferred to the printed wrap.



The back of the wrap sprayed with adhesive.
For a guide, the strip was wrapped 2 1/8" from the top. 2 1/8" is where the top edge of the wrap will go.
As usual, the spray adhesive held well except at the seam.
After it raised up, some white glue was slid underneath on one side of a razor blade.
Being careful not to smear any excess glue, the seam was burnished down.
