Look at the shape of the fairing from the top. You want a good smooth curve of the outside edge.
On the left is the before, on the right is after some very gentle forming.
I set the fairing tip against my finger for support.
A smooth, tapered dowel was rolled over the fairing to gently coax and reshape the fairing edge where needed.
Test fit before using any glue.
This picture shows one of the better fitting fin assemblies.
I only used a good sized glue bead at the center of the support piece.
Rubber bands were set around the fairing and body tube. Notice the rubber band only goes over areas of the shroud that have internal support. I don't want to deform the fairing.
