I've got a kid with a fair project in the works that found out once it was all together that it needs some fin strengthening. He played around with just glue on both sides of some scrap balsa and that didn't seem to make it strong enough. He cut out balsa the shape of the fin and tried paper laminate and had trouble getting it smooth (is there some trick to that?).
Project check in is two weeks from tomorrow. What would you suggest, keeping in mind the short time frame and the fact that this kid always does a seriously perfectionist finishing job?
Thanks for any help...of course it wouldn't be fair project time without some problems along the way! I'll get some pictures up when I get a chance--the kids really outdid themselves in the creativity department this year...tigers, dragonflies, Thing-a-ma-jigs with mounted guns, something resembling a hatchet (oh my!).
