Oopsie. I was intending to try using five-minute epoxy for fillets instead of wood glue on my current rocket, but I wasn't thinking and before I knew it, I had run beads of wood glue down each fin.
Now, this is just a single application of wood glue, so it should shrink significantly as it dries. (I didn't catch what I had done until the glue was too tacky to wipe off.) Is there any issue with applying the epoxy over these wood glue fillets? I can't imagine there would be, but I've only used epoxy for couplers and motor mounts thus far.
(I've got two other rockets, one with wood glue for the fillets and the other with Fix-It Epoxy. My plan is to do this one with five-minute epoxy so I can compare all three after painting and see which method I like best.)
