Started work on smoothing out the Centuri Screaming Eagle fin can. I started with some medium grit sanding in between a few coats of laquer sanding sealer. It does not soak in like on balsa wood at all, but it does build up and fill in the little cracks from the printing process and is sandable. I am moving to fine grain and will probably spray a coat of gray primer once I get it sufficiently smoothed out. Got most of the printing artifacts smoothed out, but turns out to be just as much or more effort than sealing balsa grain. Time to put an order together for a body tube and nose cone.
