Every year, a handful of my students don't pay attention to my instructions not to glue their nose cone with the yellow and white glue I provide them. I warn them that I will not let it fly if I can pull the nose apart on the morning of the launch, but I can never do that. Furthermore, I've actually had a few nose cones glued with Testor's model glue come apart on flights, most likely because it had gotten too hard from storage before use.
Should I relax my policy and save a few bucks by letting them use the wood glue? We're building LPR rockets that can only take up to C motors (and only using A's on the school grounds) and it seems to hold better than their fins do.
