Instant for you, not for me.

Here's my LOC NORAD build up.

Mods: homemade ejection baffle, Kevlar shock cord, rail buttons, U-bolt shock cord anchor and upper body tube is epoxied to the transition coupler and the nose cone is loose.

Cutting down the bulkhead disks with a sharp box knife to fit (they were one size too big) resulted in a decent cut to my index finger (see final picture).

I used a standard 25 lbs straight free weight bar for painting. The collar that prevents the weights from sliding further in worked great as a stop for the rocket as well.
