Once the leading edges of the sticker are lined up with the edge of the balsa:
Use the flat side of a burnisher to get the sticker on smooth.
In the picture it looks like I'm using the rounded end of the Sharpie barrel. I'm actually using the whole flat side of the white pen body.
Cutting the inside half curved leading edge is a little tough.
Use a new blade.
I cut mine a little wide and sanded to the printed edge as shown in the next step.
The right side of the fin coverings are cut (with no excess edge border) and stuck on the other open balsa side. Use the cut fin sides to line up the sticker edges.
Here I'm sanding the curved root edge with some 400 grit wrapped around the Sharpie barrel.
