Getting rid of what's no longer needed

Each foam section had 'legs' in the back that were the reference steps for the twist fixtures. Once the top layer of glass was holding the prop in shape, we flipped the blades over and with Rick's custom foam 'scissors' we hot wired off these legs and then sanded them smooth.



When we glued the foam sections onto the spar, the resin leaked out and ran down each seam on the back of the prop. This gave us a hard 'line' at each seam that didn't want to sand easily.

After a few different attempts, we finally found that a small sanding drum on a dremel tool could be used to lower the level of each seam below the desired surface. We'll then fill these seams and sand them level.
