Now *this* is weird.

Today I primed and put the first color coat down on the body tubes of my daughters' two (abbreviated) Excelsior "Love Bugs." I used Dave "Sirius Rocketry" Miller's fin covering technique (computer label paper with the edges sealed by thin CA).

I came home tonight to discover air bubbles under the label paper (see photos below). I put *two* coats on the pink rocket, which *might* explain why those fin labels are "bubblier."

Should I prick the bubbles with a pin, and let the air out that way? Has anybody else run into this particular problem yet?

(I'll be contacting Dave to see if he's seen this before, and hopefully he'll reply to this thread.)


Here with go with "one more thing,"
