Dear all, I am relatively new to this forum and I hope to have not replicated any previous post I did some search but nothing popped out. I am currently in the process of building my first HPR from scratch, I have a full design on Open Rocket and a decent cad on Fusion 360 and if you can point me to the proper section where I can share it would be nice (I guess scratch build or build plan but not sure).
Anyway my issue is with my LOC 4 inch body tubes, they are nice solid, I love them . However, I noticed that the ends are a bit ruining inside, I did not handle them a lot since I am acquiring material slowly for this built. But I am concern that they could ruin even more in the future. I had a similar problem when I did my first ever cut on the motor mount tube, and I used a small amount of CA and then sanded with fine paper. Results was okish, but I am afraid to do the same on the body tube for looking and fit reason.
Do you have a better solution to this apparently silly issue? I am over thinking as many of new comers to rocketry? I had other builds but they were much simpler and did not required me doing significant alteration and I was more focused on developing the electronics. Thank you very much for any help. I really enjoyed being on this forum and learning from many of you
