Centuri Vulcan Part 2 Scoring Cardstock

Because I used a single 9" long piece of ST-7 tubing and dropped the engine hook, you can skip Steps 1 - 5 in the Centuri instructions.
You don't have to join two separate pieces of body tube.

All the cardstock prints were done from the JimZ website on 110 lb. cardstock.
To stiffen the fins and air scoop, a sheet of 24 lb. copy paper was laminated to the printed cardstock.
The back of the cardstock was hit with spray adhesive and the 24 lb. paper applied.
This made the fins just strong enough to help prevent damage at recovery without adding too much weight.
The body shroud didn't get laminated, it was just a single printed piece of 110 lb. stock.

Score all the fold lines before cutting out the pieces on their outside lines.

The back end of a single edge razor blade makes a good scoring edge.
Notice all the masking tape over the sharp side facing up.

It should go without saying - Score all the fold lines using a straight edge.



Once again using a valuable tool, the back end of a Sharpie pen.
It's just a good, cheap burnisher.



My fins were printed on 110 lb. cardstock.
The white cardstock showed through on the sharp, bent edge.

A quick pass of the Sharpie blackened out the white.
