Red River Rocketry Starliner DST, Part 5, Shroud Forming and Gluing
Before cutting off the overhanging edge of the interior shroud,
give the edge a coat of medium CA.
This hardens up the card stock and makes it easier to trim off.
Use the edge of the upper shroud as a guide for the razor blade cut.
After the lip is removed, sand the edge flat on a sanding block.
Slide the shroud down onto the 20/55 ring and draw a pencil line around the small end of the shroud.
Slide the shroud up and apply a small line of glue below the pencil line.
You won't need glue where the lug will sit.
The instructions say to apply glue around the edge of the 20/55 ring. It's really not needed yet.
Wait until the shroud is in place and apply a fillet afterwards from the bottom.
