With the construction and flocking of the knife-edge baffle complete,
it was now time to flock the internal epoxied nuts inside of the main
tube. The nuts for the guide scopes dovetail bar were first. Flocking
of the nuts for the counterweight system will follow on the page.
As previously mentioned, the purpose for flocking the nuts was
done because holes will be cut into the ProtoStar FlockBoard where
these nut are located in the main tube so that the flocking material
could lay flat. And since the nuts would be seen through the holes,
they had to be flocked, which I used Rustoleum Camouflage flat black
enamel. |
