Fliskits MACME Shrew Build, Part 19, Fin Skins


A "soft" embossed fold was scored on the inside of the skin with the rounded tip of a butter knife.
The wraps and fin skins were printed on 24 lb. paper so use a light touch.

The new glue stick gave an even coat of glue and allowed the skin to be re-positioned to get the right fit.



This is the root edge of Fin #3.
The printed skin overhangs all the outside edges.
The fold rolled easily over the rounded leading edge.

Be sure the fold is tight over the leading edge.






After the glue had dried, the outside and root edges were sanded flat with 400 grit on a block.

The trailing edge still shows a little laser brown burn, the other fin edges  will be better sanded.
