❏ 5. Cut the excess covering from the tip with a
single-edge razor blade or a sharp hobby knife.
❏ 6. Cover the other side of the bottom of the stab
the same way.
❏ 7. Temporarily position the top stab covering
and the triangle fi n reinforcement on the top of
the stab. Use a felt-tip pen to trace the outline of
the fi n reinforcement onto the covering, then take
the covering off the stab and cut out that portion
of the covering. This will allow you to glue the fi n
reinforcements directly to the bare wood and avoid
cutting the covering directly on the wood after
you iron it down. You can clean residual ink from the
covering with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.
❏ 8. Iron the piece of covering you just “custom
cut” to the top of the stab, then cover the other
side the same way.
❏ 9. Completely shrink the covering on the top
and bottom and thoroughly bond all the edges to
the frame.
❏ 10. Cover the triangle fi n reinforcements, then
trim the excess so it “overhangs” by approximately
3/32". This way all you have to do is glue them to
the fi n and stab and seal the edges with the iron.
