Here's the four smaller SRB engine bells.
The glued in dowel gives support and helps position the bells at the correct angle.
This shows the drill in place and a toothpick used to widen the hole diameter just a bit.
I used a good sized drop of glue in the hole applied by a toothpick.
When the toothpick was set in the drilled hole, the glue overflowed around the outside edges of the hole.
The toothpick was turned to spread out a round glue bead around the hole edge.
With the right amount of "too much" glue:
When the SRB engine bell was pressed in place, I had an automatic fillet.
Trying to add a fillet afterwards in this tight area would be very hard to do.
Time to take a break!
