| Since the Softener does work on the adhesive in the ply, A heatgun was used to soften up the glue during the forming. During this stage I repeatedly wet the ply with water to help the bend. When the water steams off the part, you know it's hot enough! |

| Left some space between the lashing. Notice my brand new cast! Broke my wrist a week and a half ago. DOH! |

| Canopy Fairing. 1/64" ply soaked in "Super Soft 2" veneer softeneir. This stuff doesn't have any amonia or vinegar in it so it doesn't smelll that bad. Works pretty good too. The form is Bass. |

| I've been having trouble with this. I guess I've learned a lot building it. |

| Finished results. The decals snuggled down enough to help me locate the slots for the control horns. The rough edges will be touched up with pain. I was lucky. The paint matched up very good with the tones of the reds and blues. |

| Used X-Acto blade to cut through the covering prior to adding the decals. If you zoom up, you can also see the slots for the vertical hinges. |
