Even though the instructions specify lining up the seams with the red and black lines on the interior tube, my edges didn't match up exactly.
I ended up turning the segments slightly for a better fit on the segment below it.
The seams weren't always in line for the best fit.
On the left -
White glue was applied to just the exposed inside lip of the ring. This left the glue on the inside and prevented any from oozing out of the joint.
While the glue is still wet the paper is pliable and can be "molded".
Roll your smooth burnisher over the joints and you can flatten out some of the raised edges.
A few of the seams were starting to open up.
I found I could rub just a bit of glue stick on the raised edge and burnish the lifted edge back down tight.
I'm using glue sticks more and more for this type of build.
White glue is too wet and could tear up the paper surface.
