Method for making 3D shapes (used to make a bike fairing)

Step 7 Clean up the joints

This step is pretty straightforward. Basically, you just get a tungsten carbide tip for your Dremel tool and run it along the edges of your part. Be sure to wear a mask and clean up all surfaces afterwards, plastic dust is bad for you! You will find that many of your joints require touch-up, but you'll be able to get everything nice and smooth rather quickly.

This goes a long way toward correcting any areas where the edges separated from the tape, and/or areas where glue was not contained properly.
