Carded BANDITO Build Part 5, Wedge Fin Gluing


The fins will revert to the shape shown at the top.
You'll want them in the sharp wedge shown at the bottom inset.
Run your burnisher over the upper 2/3 of the leading edge.
The glued tab won't allow you to press down the back end.
You'll only need to work on the front to get the sharp wedge shape.
When white glue is applied to the thin root edges it'll bead up as shown in the upper picture.

Run your finger tip over the edge to take off the excess glue and glue beads.
You won't need much glue to get the fins to stay on the tube.
Set the fins down centered on the printed lines. Be sure the notch is centered over the retaining ring wrap.
Look close at the fins and coax the root edges into a straight line by pressing with a clean Q-tip.
