260 Space Booster Build Part 9 Shroud Gluing


Slide the larger shroud down the BT-20, then place the centering ring.

I sanded a little of the centering ring where the underlying gluing tab would make contact. In the picture you can see where the brown laser cut was sanded off and the white area is exposed.
This will make a better fit where the shroud is thicker at the glue tab.



The larger shroud was slid down dry onto the centering ring.

The ring was checked to be straight and even, then a fillet was applied around the BT-20 joint.
After that dried, glue fillets were applied on both sides.

In the end, there is a 1/4" space between the two shrouds as shown in the instructions.
