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. |

Brass coated coffee jar "freshness seals" (.001" thick) used for "S" shaped cladding cutouts that include extra cutout strips of "stretch out and wrap around edge strips". Template sheet for loating the cladding positions, one piece on each side of the prop. |

I removed the old "half circle" claddings from the prop tips, sanded the prop down to 400 grit paper, and sprayed 3 coats of Krylon Clear Gloss acrylic rattle can paint onto the balsa. |
