Estes Saturn V Build Part 17 Wraps

The body wrap reduction piece will take some extra consideration.
You can see initially I've cut it a bit oversize.

It was set on the third stage wrap and the corrugations centered.
Pencil tic marks were drawn at the shroud edges.

The distance from the end of the corrugation line to the tic mark was carried around the wrap.
In the picture you can see the other tic marks going around the shroud. The marks were connected with a curved line, slightly outside the tic marks.
I usually cut a little big then trim and sand to size.



Carefully cut out the wrap with a sharp knife.
Sand the edges to a consistent round edge with 220 grit sandpaper on a block.
