I glued my rocket together over the last few days. I hadn't used two-part epoxy before this project. I used a 5 minute epoxy to glue in the forward centering ring. Next I used CA to tack the fins to the MMT and popped in the rear centering ring. Once that had dried for 24hrs, I removed the rear centering ring and used a 30 minute epoxy to apply all the interior and exterior fillets. It's extremely messy on the inside and regular messy on the outside. I couldn't get the hang of making the fillets with a popsicle stick without pushing epoxy further up the fin and onto the body tube. I assume that this just comes with practice, but if anyone had helpful tips, I'm all ears. Anyway, I cleaned the rocket the best I could with rubbing alcohol and I'm hoping the excess sands easily.
