I tried to press the "Like" button, but alas, it isn't available. 😀
I too use many different glues, and just started using Mod Podge for papering fins. I don't paper all fins, usually simply-shaped ones, the most recent being a Der Red Max. This V-2 is my first rocket with papered fins. I made a one-piece cover with the sharp crease over the leading edge. I use either 65lb. cardstock, or 100 lb. Cardstock sounds heavy, these weights are really more like really heavy typing paper, and incredibly smooth. This V-2 may look a little different. I trimmed the stock oversized fins down to scale size. I also used micro rail buttons. My MakerBeam rail is laying next to the V-2.
