thoroughly sand everything that will be joined with epoxy...especially fiberglass.
I would leave the piston out. More problems than its worth. You must clean inside of tube and piston after each flight. Sometimes in cold weather they stick. Dog barf or a nomex shield will not fail you. Its your rocket build it how you want. Just my ideas.

You got that right. Those brass tubes will not be used. I've built kits from Binder and MadCow and they both came with rail buttons. The LOC-IV that I built with my son came with a cardboard straw that did get tossed to the side.
Thanks Branden. That seems to be a common theme with quantum tube. Maybe I'll go back inside the tube and sand it again for good measure.
