Raisin' Maize Build Part 5 Nose Block Gluing

Gluing the adapter into place will be tricky.
Use epoxy to glue the adapter into the hollow in the nose cap.

The internal BT-5 has not been glued in the cob yet. Right now, it is a little longer than it needs to be.
Slide the BT-5 into the cob body. Slide the adapter into the top of the BT-5 tube. Mix a small amount of 15 minute epoxy.




Epoxy is applied in the nose cap hollow recess and inside the upper lip of the black adapter.





Line up the kernels on the nose cap with the cut kernels on the cob body.
Press the nose cap onto the black adapter.

Don't let the epoxy glue the adapter to the BT-5 tube!
You only want an epoxy bead on the top edge of the black adapter and the nose cap hollow area.

Before the epoxy cures, you should remove the nose cap (and glued in adapter) to be sure the adapter and nose cap aren't glued to the cob body and internal tube.

It would be a good idea to let this adapter dry with the nose and body pointed down. This way the epoxy won't drip down into the internal BT-5 tube.
