I haven't ever been too impressed with the foam edge on the trailing edge of these foamboard models. I wondered, "hey, can I iron a TE into an airfoil?"
You can do this. Moderate pressure on your sealing iron, a low-angle, medium-low heat, and profile both sides. Leaves a nice edge on the foam. If you are not careful, it can kind of bulge the foam towards the center of the wing or tailplane.
