DFR Tech. Delta II Build Part 17 SRM Gluing

If you look closely at the back end of the SRM tube you can see a pencil tick mark over and around the back end of the tube.

You'll be gluing this tube centered on the SRM supports strip. Because it completely covers the alignment line, this tick mark will give you a centering reference.

I'd suggest using the "double glue" method to attach the SRMs.

Here's some SRMs in place. These SRMs are adjacent to the clear fins and can hold engines.

Before gluing, I marked the exposed lip with a Sharpie pen for easier identification and to remind me which ones had the engine blocks in them.

You can just make out the pencil tick marks, centered on the SRM supports.
