Lightly roll over the glued skin to smooth it out and remove excess glue.
Be ready, the skin can slip around and out of alignment with the interior cardboard edge.
Lay waxed paper over the fin and cardboard.
Set overnight in a heavy book for drying.
After the first side has dried, here's the other side ready to be glued in place. Before applying any glue, double check to be sure the position of the mirror image is correct.
Line up the two edges (the two edges you cut on the edge lines) and glue the other side in place.
Set in a book and allow to dry.
This shows the long upper strake fin with both side skins glued on both sides of the cardboard.
The root edges and forward tip of the fin sides are lined up.
