15. Roll the core down onto the sheet with a rocking motion.

16.

Continue rolling the core onto the sheet until the leading edge is attached.

17.

Turn the core over and firmly rub down the wing skin sheeting with the flat of your
hands to insure that the balsa skin is firmly attached to the core. Repeat this
process from time to time as you proceed with the next steps. This seals down
any areas that may have separated during handling. After sheeting the first side of
a core, check for straightness. A bow can sometimes be corrected by hand
pressure and twisting the assembly before proceeding.

18.

Rough trim around the edge.

19

Repeat Step 14, 15, 16 and 17 on the other side as steps 19 to 21.

22.

Trim and sand the edges of the sheeted
foam cores. While the regular sanding
block can be used, note how useful an
extra long block is for this purpose. The
one shown is made from a section of
aluminum channel extrusion - with
sandpaper glued on using sanding disc
adhesive. This handy specialized glue is
available at hardware stores and lumber
yards.

23.

Glue on the 5/16"x1" leading edge.

24.

Glue on the 1/4" x 5/8" trailing edge.

25.

Carve the leading edge and trailing edge
roughly to contour.
