Batter Up Build Part 7 Fin Skins


Here's how the baseball cards will fit over the 1/16" balsa.
Notice the square fold over the leading edge of the balsa.

The root edge tabs are the gluing surfaces to the bat handle.




The interior balsa was cut a little large and will be trimmed off after the skin is glued and dried.
The balsa was set on the glue and burnished.

The card stock was folded over the leading edge and burnished on the other side.




Be sure the root edge of the balsa lines up with the tab folds.
The fins were left to dry overnight in the pages of a heavy book.
