The back end of the black trim was trimmed off a new razor blade.
Be very careful when getting near the rounded fillet corners. It's easy to round off the corners if the Monokote isn't all the way into the fillet joint.
The blue piece is cut by simply flipping over the original template used for the black pieces.
The blue piece isn't cut wide, you won't be trimming off the overhand afterwards.
Instead of going from the center out, I found it easier to set down the side corner tip first.
The blue overlaps the black slightly.
Here's the finished upper section.
This takes time, it's not an easy trim to line up!
The tips wouldn't stay down over the rounded leading edges.
I don't have any of the trim solvent so I used some medium CA to stick the tips down.
- A drop of medium CA was set down on some scrap card stock.
- A toothpick was touched in the CA drop.
- This small bit of CA was set under the lifted corner.
- Any excess was picked up with a paper towel.
- The tip was pressed into the CA by rolling over it with a Q-tip.
