The root edges of the launch shoe assemblies were masked off using 1/8" wide strips of masking tape.
All were stuck down to the sticky side of masking tape on scrap cardboard for a white spray.
The inset picture is after the white spray. There is still some uneven surface and basswood grain grain left. All flat surfaces were sanded smooth using 400 grit on a block.
This was sanded to surface using 400 grit on a block.
These tubes were rolled tight with a narrow seam. I wish tubes were made this well today.
A close scan and I could see where the filler didn't stay in the seam. I mark these with a pencil,
More filler was applied with a knife blade and sanded down. Sometimes a second fill stays in the rut.
