Be sure your hands are clean before applying the bands. Any dirt or oil on your skin will transfer to the white cardstock.
It's hard to cut the strip widths consistent. I cut out many strips any and threw away about half. Don't worry, there's plenty of area in the printed black blocks you cut the strips from.
Instead of applying white glue directly on the back of the strip, I set a drop of glue and ran the strip through it. The excess glue was wiped off before applying it to the SRB body.
Start a little to the side of the wrap seam. This will give you a gluing area that fits the contour of the core tube.
Here's what the finished strip wrap looks like at the seam.
Here's the finished strip, starting and finishing at either side of the seam.
The band and wrap seams will be covered when the SRBs are glued to the core tank.
