Hood has a top and bottom formerand a crossed (+) former inside all formers are doubled up because you will put quite a bit of strain on them. The plating should be on medium card, mark the centre line on the inside, roll it into a circle and glue, set aside to cure, deform the circle gently with your fingers and drop the bottom former inside diagonally then gently push it down with a dowel or pencil and if necessary sand the former till it just fits. When you are happy apply glue to the inside edge of the plating and push it home, drop in your cross former and then gently ease in the top former checking that everything lines up with the centre line you marked. A little white glue eased into the edges with a toothpick finishes the job. If you join the plating with an internal strip remember to leave a gap top and bottom for the former to fit in. Hope this helps.
