Step 5Finishing
You can paint - or in our case, we will be frosting our disks. Just sand one side until it's "frosted" - sanding by hand in one direction will yield nicer results.
To keep the cone shape -- lay out a strip of tape on the outside, then apply an epoxy adhesive to the inside of the cone shape to make a butt joint/bridge. Once cured, remove the tape and sand down the excess epoxy.
Attachment will be done with Velcro stuck to the wheel and disk.
OK, so technically this isn't complete. But, given my timing for the next couple weeks... It's now or never for publishing this thing ;)
Oh, and here's a picture of a meat person inside the fairing with the frame (slowly starting to cut and fit the frame inside).
