Raisin' Maize Build Part 6 Cutting The Internal Tube

While the epoxy dries, the nose cone was taped down to be sure it stayed closed.







After all was dried, the nose cap was removed with the coupler glued in place.

The internal BT-5 was slid through and above the main body probably 1/2" higher than where it will be glued.
The nose cap and coupler were set in the BT-5



Now push the nose cap down and seat it against the main cob body. This pushed the BT-5 into the correct position inside the cob.

At the rear end, mark the BT-5, 1/4" from the rear of the cob body.
Cut the tube off at this mark. The internal BT-5 is now the correct length.
