Quick question ... If I'm papering 2-part balsa fins (i.e. fins that are glued together with a butt joint)...
My gut says to go ahead and glue them together as normal, then sand the joint smooth and paper them. But then I thought: Would it be better to combine papering and assembling the fins? So instead of putting the fins between wax paper when the glue is drying ... why not just set the fin on pre-glued white paper as it's drying, then the joint glue will just help the paper attach?
Does this make sense?
