You should tape the wraps tightly shut until the adhesive completely sets up.
I mentioned to keep the scrap plastic after cutting out the wraps.
I cut a thin strip of plastic to fill the gap. It was pressed into place even with the two side edges. Medium CA glue was carefully applied with a toothpick.
The long bottom was trimmed off after the glue dried.
The tunnels are cut to size to fit in the space between the wraps.
Notice on the left picture - the pencil lines ended up a little off after the wraps were glued in place. As mentioned earlier, the tunnels should run straight, you might have to make wrap adjustments so they are perfectly vertical.
Be aware - the corrugated wraps can stretch a bit.
The instructions don't mention this -
TIP: I cut out a notch in the wrap edge so the tunnels fit flat against the body tube.
TIP: Mark the back of the tunnel and its body tube position.
The bottom four tunnels are in same-size pairs and easy to mix up!
