FlisKits Tartar Build Part 10, Strake Covers

I ended up scoring the folds by doing what the instructions said -
Cut about halfway through the card stock with a sharp knife. Fold on the cut line.
You've got to be very careful when cutting a fold line. It's easy to cut through the card stock and ruin the piece.

The upper fold is the cut line. You can see how much sharper and square it is.
Below is the first try, the embossed score is too round.

I used one master template to cut all four covers.
Tape was doubled up and stuck to the back of the template. That was stuck down onto new card stock. Pencil tic marks were drawn at the folds and center line.

Look close and you can see the cuts halfway through the cardstock.

I ended up making the cuts just inside the pencil marks to better fit the thickness of the strakes.

Most of the gray primer filler was sanded off leaving a surface that would absorb some glue. The instructions recommend filling the balsa before gluing on the strake covers.
A glue stick worked perfectly here. Using white glue would be messy and more prone to warping the balsa.

The top was burnished down first with a clean dowel.
The flat sides were burnished next (inset picture).

All four strakes were set inside a heavy book for drying.
They could warp if they didn't dry inside a flat surface.
