DFR Tech Delta II Build Part 19 Wraps

I got the new vinyl wraps for the Delta II.
These are a good improvement over the self adhesive paper wraps. They are bright, clear and precut.
I did the usual line down the body tube for lining up the edge of the wrap.

The vinyl holds well, but you can peel it off and re-position if your alignment is off.
Just be sure the body tube surface is clean! Anything from glue or lint will show through the vinyl as a bump.

The print on the SRM numbers are placed 1/4" from the end of their tubes.

I positioned the first one (the number 9 centered between two fins) then wrapped a thin strip of paper around all the SRM tubes.

The paper strip goes along the bottom edge of the vinyl number squares.

This will make the lower distance alignment foolproof. Simply set the bottom edge of the vinyl square on the top of the paper strip.



Check to be sure the vinyl number is centered by looking from the rear. Use the SRM mounts for a center reference.
