Rocket Body/Fuselage Shell Glued
Photo of the two piece fuselage shell is glued.
I start on the upper corner where they meet, align and then make sure the top piece aligns with the glue tab line, with all of these stripes, big help on keeping alignment correct.
Press hard and keep running fingers/hand back and forth along the whole joint/connection to get glue forced into cardstock fibers. Not good if this falls apart during flight! Lots of pressure better than not enough!!!
Same for al gluing connections, press hard to force glue into cardstock fibers and then hold, a little glue is better than lots, you will be holding forever with too much glue: added danger of too much glue is is cardstock warping. A little glue goes a long way, and is quicker to build removing lots of holding together time.
