Cutting the mylar

The mylar bolt, identified by the part number on the build order, is stored in logistics. The process of pulling the mylar from the bolt, cutting it, and taping it are all performed on a large work surface. Here the process is being done on a folding table, however this can be done anywhere.

Pull 10 feet of mylar and fasten down with clamps
