For medium sized rockets, I make transitions out of lightweight cardstock - like a manilla folder. After gluing up and attaching to project I will fill in with wood filler. Depending on whether it needs any structural strength, after it is affixed to the project, I will sometimes cover it with .75 oz Fiberglass and Epoxy. You can do the FG lamination before assembly, too. Gooped on Kilz primer can cover any finishing sins.

For HPR, I use 1/64 ply, built over underlying stringers, then always FG/Epoxy covering.
