Context:
I'm starting a Terrier Booster build. This would be my first 38mm build and first APCP staging kit. I'm also using Rocketpoxy for the first time. Whether necessary or not I don't know, but gaining experience with it seems like a good idea. So far, it looks like regular epoxy to me but I trust it has better properties than the JB Weld I've been using lately.
Where I'm at:
The first step was to glue the forward motor mount ring which I just did (after sanding).
The next step is apparently to glue the aft motor mount ring.
Problem:
The instructions mention only 2 motor mount rings, but the kit comes with 3 rings (as shown in photo).
Questions:
What would you do with the 3rd ring?
If you would choose to glue it somewhere between the 2 others, where exactly and why?
(For some reason, the glued ring looks crooked in this photo but it's actually quite straight in real life, and I aligned it with a straight angle.)
