Estes Tech Pak Build Part 3, Body Tube Rolling

The tube rolling isn't easy!
Take it slow and follow the kit directions closely along with a few tips shown here.

A 4" X 11" piece of 20 lb. paper is cut and wrapped around the thick body tube form.
The instructions don't specify what kind of glue to use. Trust me, use a glue stick.
White glue is too wet and won't let you re-position this interior wrap.
The interior wrap glues to itself at the end of the edge and not to the brown body tube form.

Unroll the orange wrap tape and cut it in half at the center.
The wrap is hard to keep open, it'll want to roll up again.

At the ends are plenty of wrinkles, I hope these come out when the tube is wrapped.

One end of each wrap piece is cut at a 45 degree angle.
Cut the angles in a mirror image as shown in Step 3 B.

When the angle cut is set straight on the top edge of the white layer it sets the orange wrap at the correct angle to go around the widthtube.

The white interior wrap is slid down to the bottom of the form tube. This leaves some of the form tube sticking out the top.

Do a dry fit of the orange wrap (no water) to see how it fits on the tube.
With the wrap wrap running 45 degrees down the tube it will automatically over wrap itself.

See the next post before wetting and applying the wrap.
