I've got two mostly intact nose cones from pranged Big Daddys. One has what is almost a spiral fracture, with the split going all the way around the diameter (but the ends are offset by about an inch). And a second that has a little over an inch of the tip broken off. I've been thinking about building a rocket using one as a nosecone, and one as a tailcone, with a short piece of body tube between. What would be the best way to glue the cracks up? What glue works best? After everything is put in place I might even squirt some foam in for increased strength. The other thought is to laminate something on from the inside.
I would probably use the grey one for the tail cone. You can see the beginning and end of the crack that wraps around the blue one.
