If using the Saturn V wraps, you have to wait to glue on the feeder line.The shaped feeder line dowel was sealed and sanded with two coats of varnish.
It was painted before gluing on the core body.
Instead of cutting away the cardstock wrap to fit the ends of the feeder line dowel, I made recessed notches in the dowel to overlap the cardstock wraps.
Look close in the picture and you can see where the paint was scraped away for a better bond of the white glue. Be careful if you scrape away paint like this, sometimes the paint will want to chip. Keep the scraped line narrow until you see how the paint comes off. Then widen the line but keep it narrower than the width of the feeder tube.
Four engine bells are formed.
Here I'm sanding down the smaller end so the gluing edge is flat all the way around.
The edges will roll over a little bit from the sanding. Don't remove this rolled edge. The wider edge gives a bit more gluing surface.
