Centuri Astro 1, Build, Part 7, Semroc Parachute

The print on the Semroc parachute sheet looks like the old Centuri chutes. The shroud line attachment is very different.

If you were to tie the shroud line on before sticking down the disk, the adhesive on the disk would be covered with skin oils and dirt, diminishing it's hold on the plastic sheet.

Avoid touching the sticky side of the reinforcement disks.
Use some long tweezers and set the line through the sticky back side before setting the disk onto the chute. Orient the shroud lines as shown for an easier tie.
The picture here shows the disk flipped over after the shroud line was stuck down on the back side.

Tie a square knot after the disk (with line attached) is stuck to the parachute.









You can cut the excess line off with scissors or knife.
I usually use a small wire cutter. It leaves a clean cut with no frayed edges.
