So I've put together and painted this rocket that is ready to launch.

The launch lug is placed between the gap of two of the bottom outside tubes. It sits right above them. So the rod goes through the gap and then the lug.
When putting the launch rod into it, I noticed that it sticks just a little bit. It's not as smooth as it is on a rocket, like the Alpha.
In comparison, when I hold the Neon vertically with the rod, it doesn't slide down but with an Alpha it does.
So my questions are if this will be a problem at all during launch?
Is there a non-flammable substance I could grease the rod with or inside the launch lug?
