Quest Lil' Grunt Build #Q5014, Part 7, Bolt Wrap & Streamer Attachment

The bolt wrap sticker on the nose cone shoulder is difficult to set down in a straight line with a perfect end match. By the time you go around the nose cone to meet the other side, your "visual" set line is usually off. 

TIP: Lay down a thin strip of masking tape to use as a edge guide for the sticker. Wet the sticker. The clear border edge of the sticker was set next to the side of the masking tape for a perfect end match.

The 1/4" wide shock cord is tied to the nose cone loop with 3" of the loose end extended from the nose cone. The 3" extension leads to the streamer attachment.

The flat elastic is fed through the grommet on the streamer and secured with an overhand knot. Cut the end at an angle to feed it through the small hole. The instructions say to use a double knot, but the streamer seems very secure with the single overhand knot. That grommet is pretty small.
