Sealing & Smoothing Balsa Fins

http://www.ApogeeRockets.com -

If you're working with students and would like a technique to make smooth fins, then this video is for you. Here you'll learn how to take a balsa wood fin and turn it into a work of art by rounding off the leading and trailing edges, sealing it with a water-based wood filler, and then sanding it smooth. 

If you pay attention to the techniques shown, the task of smoothing out the fins will go faster and with less effort. This means that hand position and how you hold the sandpaper is a little bit more important because you'll work quicker and with more accuracy.
