    Building a midpower rocket

    I'm building my Madcow Batray using 30min. epoxy.Can I use Titebond molding and trim wood glue for the fillets on the fins?I used the epoxy for the attachment of the wings.But thought the fillets would be easier using the molding and trim on the fins and launch lugs.Anyone try this method?

    while using TM&T would be faster in that all fillets could be done at once. I'd go with epoxy fillets just for simplicity and beauty. Ya just can't beat a 30min. epoxy fillet for absolute radius level appearance. I believe epoxy is easier to sand as well

    I can't speak for larger models, but I generally use a pen cap and run it along the fillet, it makes them nice and smooth.
