The Big Fix, Crimped 3 Ply Card Stock Fin

My new carded downscale Black Brant VB landed hard on the basketball court asphalt.
One red fin was crimped on the tip.

I thought about steaming it, but was concerned it might smear the printer ink on the outside layer.

The fin was set flat on a clean countertop.
Some white glue (no yellow glue here, the yellow could discolor the red print) as applied and allowed to soak in for a moment.

A Sharpie pen barrel was pressed and rolled (don't rub, roll over the glue) over the wrinkles, flattening them.

Here's the repaired fin.
The wet white glue softened the crimp bends allowing them to be pressed flat. The glue also strengthened the bent fin tip.
Not perfect, but ready for another flight.
