Big Girtha Build Part 17, Trim Tape Placement


Before laying down the barber pole strips -
The name decal was set on dry to be sure there was enough space for it.

Mark the five ticks at the top of the red strip.

Directly below in line with the upper marks, draw five more ticks for the bottom end of the diagonal stripes.
Start the strip at the top, centered over the pencil tick.
The end of the tape strip will be centered over the lower tick to the left of the upper one.

It took a few tries to get the electrical tape strip lined up.
The tape is flexible and stretches.

Don't worry about the ends yet, they'll be trimmed later.


Look from the rear and get the tape lines as straight as possible.
It's easy to lay them down with a curve in it.
