Estes Twin Factor #7250, Build, Part 5, Leg Prep

Be careful when doing test fits of the card stock fins. Look close at the tab, the outside layer of the cardstock has peeled back.

I put a little bit of glue on the tab ends and burnished them down.

The laser burnt edges had already been lightly sanded with 400 grit.

A bead of white glue is set on the exposed edges. Even out the bead with a fingertip. 

 

After the glue bead dries, sand it with 400 grit. This gives the card stock sides a smooth, rounded edge that will really show when painted.

There is plenty of left over card stock.

Hang onto it - you'll find a use it down the road.
