Hi everyone,
I'm working on a 3" rocket to get experience with glassing airframes, dual deploy, etc prior to starting an L3 build. I'm using a Soller fiberglass sock/tube over a cardboard tube. I know there are multiple techniques to make sure it's applied smoothly - from what I've seen, vacuum bagging, hand squeegie, or Soller's heat shrink tube.
What are people's thoughts on each technique? I'm not terribly interested in the vacuum technique due to the buy-in cost, especially if other techniques work fine.
Thanks in advance!
Dustin
