Gluing the Nose Cone and Upper Fins
The Upper Ring was Gorilla Wood Glued to the Body Tube o.d..
A piece of 300# Kevlar Shock Chord was attached to the Recovery Dowel.
Two holes were punch through the Body Tube just below the upper ring.
Wood Glue was applied to the face of the Upper Ring and the Nose Cone was set into place and allowed to dry for 1/2 hour.
Wood Glue was injected into the two punched holes until the glue started to build up on the face of the Nose Cone Hub inside the rocket.
The rocket was held upside down and spun for 45 minutes at 45 degree angle.
The O.D. of the Upper Ring was wood glued to the Nose Cone.
The Upper Fins and Launch Lug Support were glued to the Body Tube and to the Nose Cone.
