TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 16, Primer Sand on the Shroud

While the instructions don't say anything about filling the steps between the shrouds, the instructions do say to coat the 110 lb. card stock shrouds with CA glue to strengthen them.
Think ahead - The CWF filler is water based and won't stick to the CA sealed cardstock.
I waited until the shroud seams were well filled before applying the thin CA glue. If you wait to apply the CA glue coat, the shrouds will be more flexible and require careful sanding.

Here's one of the two shroud seams after a third coat and sanding of the CWF.
At's pretty smooth now and the transition "step" isn't as noticeable.
Thin CA was applied overall with Q-tips. Onto the Duplicolor primer/filler.

Here's I'm sanding the dried primer first with the Norton 220 grit sand paper.
I'm using the primer filler to take care of any remaining seams.
Again - BE VERY CAREFUL SANDING THE SHROUDS OVER THE INTERIOR RINGS AND TUBE ENDS.
Even after the CA coat there is some flex in the shroud. You could still thin the shroud right over the stiff centering rings.

At the top end of the tube my shroud end was tight and flared out slightly.
I sanded down the raised top. This sanded off a small bit of card stock and the white edge was re-coated with thin CA.
