| I tried to keep out wrinkles on the faces of the blades, keep the overlaps on the blade edge only, and have the cladding bottoms lline up even with the cladding bottoms on the other side. |

| Finished prop all cladded up. The wrap arond edge strips were trimmed real close to the prop edge, leaving just enough to wrap the edge of the blade only - glued sparingly with 5 min Epoxy. |

| Here it is all clamped and pinned up - black styrofoam on each side of the blade - the white paper templates are lined up with the wooden blade. The green masking tape on the opposite blade is so that I don't accidentally break it off ... |

| This is the "peel n stick" black styrofoam I used to hold the blade steady in order to press the claddings onto the blade tips. |

| The cladding is glued to the prop and the white template paper is bent up so it does not glue. The two balsa strips used to pin down the prop, actually smeared and dented the one-week old Krylon clear finnish - I substituted some padding, for both sides of the prop, using some peel and stick balck styrofoam padding stuck to the pin down strips - that styrofoam padding is used for air conditioner draft seals. |

| The white template is masking taped to the prop, and I brushed on a thin layer of 5 min epoxy to the wood - the cladding really wanted to slip and move around out of posiiton on a practise blade, which is why I used a template to make sure it was in the right positon as the glue dried. |
