New Way Boxie Birdie, Build Part 2, Parts Prep

Most laser cut cardstock has some charring and smoke discoloration.
You can clean up most of it with a white eraser. White eraser leaves no marks - a pink eraser could leave some pink marks.

The picture on the right shows the cleaned up part.




I lightly sanded the tab sides, the tabs that would be seen on the finished model.







On the left is before sanding the tabs clean.

On the right, the tab edges were sanded with 400 grit on a sanding block. You can certainly see the difference. The charred edges might be hard to cover with white paint. Clean them up for a whiter finished model.
