260 Space Booster Build Part 8 Shroud Gluing



Dry slide the short shroud up to the BT-60.
Turn the shroud around the end of the tube until you find the best fit. Mark the seam location at the best location.
Slide the shroud away from the BT-60.




Apply a narrow glue bead to the exposed "step" of the centering ring. It won't take much glue, you don't want the card stock shroud to shrink up when the glue dries.
Slide the shroud onto the glue shelf, lining up the pencil tick from the last step.





Before the glue sets up, the card stock is wet and pliable. The edge can be molded a bit.
Roll a clean dowel over the edge trying to match up the body tube and shroud edge.
