How about a thin coat of finishing epoxy for a little extra ding resistance ?
This is the new nose cone for my Sirius Deimos (lawn dart documented here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?41087-Sirius-Rocketry-Deimos&highlight=deimos) Thanks, David !
I was rummaging through the paint locker and found some hobby shop polyester epoxy and mixed up a batch and brushed it on. Prior to this I sanded the raw balsa, one coat of Aerogloss fillercoat, and more sanding. I feel like I should get a tougher shell from this treatment without any weight penalty to speak of.
What'd y'all think ?
