Small strips of 110 lb. card stock were cut to fit the air vane locations on the fins.
The strips were a little less than 1/16" wide, narrower than the fin thickness.
The back rounded side of a razor blade was used to score the inside corner fold.
When glued into the vane corner the strip will raise the vane away from the fin.
Before gluing on the strip, scrape away a little of the paint for a better glue bond.
Glue was applied to the back of the strip and the corner bend pressed into corner of the vane cutaway.
The picture at the right shows the strip with just the center fold glued down.
Use a toothpick to smoothly roll the strip onto the glue and into position.

Center the strip down it's length in the corner.
