I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Next, I taped the strip ends onto scrap cardboard and spray painted metallic silver. I was careful not to flex the fold too much, lest it cracks the paint.

If you can look (zoom) carefully, I managed to open up the thin strip. Had to use a pair of tweezers to help.

This is where trial and error comes in and eyeballing is used. I carefully cut an extra thin strip along the folded edge of the paper, knowing that when I open it, the strip will be doubled in width. Don't want it too wide, or too thin. As Goldilocks would say, "Jes' about right."

For the metal borders surrounding the wing walk, this is where a bit of "outside the box" imagination comes in. I use a standard black white sheet of 81/2x11 sized paper folded in half. The fold of the paper will be used to form a "ridge" along the metal strip.
