I'm building an Estes Leviathan, and have decided to attach the shock cord to the forward centering ring via a forged eye bolt. I bought 25 yards of nylon webbing to use as shock cord material for a few rockets.
I have read of a couple different methods of attaching a shock cord to an eye bolt, and wanted to get some feedback from you guys. A couple methods I'm considering are sewing the end of the shock cord to the main part, or epoxying it.
The sewing method seems pretty labor intensive, especially since I'd have to do it by hand (no sewing machine). I feel like the epoxy method might be a better option. Currently, I'm working with Bob Smith's 30 minute epoxy.
What do you guys think about this? Sewing or epoxy? Or is there another method I should go for?
Thanks!
