And the final step in the build process, I finally finished all the sanding and could give all the rocket parts 2 coasts of clear coat.
I surfaced prepped each of the components using 120 grit paper and a good cleaning with Acetone and lint free wipes. Once done I applied the clear coat using the aerosol can. As per manufacturers instructions, I gave it a light sanding after 30 mins and applied a second coat.
Whilst there are some obvious blemishes around the body, I am more than happy with the outcome and it should be fine for the flight.
Im sure some would not be happy with my choice to go clear coat but I think its great. It also shows off the building process like seeing where epoxy has been applied. A good educational rocket once I have my cert
