Aerotech Mega Initiator #89541, Part 17, Setting The Name Sticker



Take it from an old typesetter - 
"Os" are typically taller and extend beyond the baselines of the other letters.
Be careful when trimming close so you don't cut off the top and bottom of the O.

You have to decide if the vertical orange line or the name INITIATOR will be centered between two fins.

The INITIATOR name is bolder so I decided to center that vertically.

Don't peel the backing off yet. With tape on the back to hold it onto the tube, measure and center the name.


Rotate the to upper tube to line up the lower vertical orange line with the upper line trailing down. I used my aluminum angle to position the lines.







When both the orange ends are joined and touching, tape the body tube to keep everything in line.







With the vertical orange line overlapping about 1/4" at the top, it puts the break line between the O and the R.

Peel off the backing and carefully set the name sticker in place.

Cut the separation line between the O and R.
