You will want to preform the skirts before any gluing.
The length of the taper was the same as the height of the skirt.
The tip of the dowel was rounded off.
Press the dowel into the skirt over your fingertip.
Do enough pressing so the shroud keeps it's full form when removed.
I drew the glue lines with pencil before any glue was applied. I wanted the glue inside and under the skirt edges. The thin glue lines were set down transferred on the tip of a toothpick.
The skirt was picked up with a little glue left on the toothpick tip.
The sides of the skirt should be straight, not rounded.
While the skirt is still wet with glue you can "mold" it by pressing the edge in with the side of a toothpick.
Keep working the skirt until the glue starts to set up. Go gently, the paper stock of the skirt is thin.
Here's how it looks with all four skirts in place.
The back end of the skirts overhangs the scalloped ring a bit.
