Ok tutorial continues

Step #4
-burnish the foil with your Qtip

- Now this looks like crap but dont worry your #11 blade is yyour friend
Step #5

-Cut all surplus foil away ideally on a panel line or somewhere the joints wont show
- I also use a Excel burnishing tool to get the foil nicely into the cracks(ALWAYS pull do not push as you may rip the foil)
-Now take a sanding stick and pass lightly over the seams of your foil and wrincles (ideally follow the airflow) you may also use 1000+ sand paper
Step6
Look at your work and say man there more than 30 pieces of foil on this wing and you cant even see the junctions

Hope this was or will be usefull to some one

Disclamer : Im not a foiling pro this is only my second model after my 1/32 P-51D(picture on previous page) Try this technique at your own risk and dont be shy to post or pm me questions. FOILING CAN GET VERY ADDICTIVE you have bean warn
