Dr. Zooch SLS Build Part 15 SRB Skirts

In the instructions, the SRB skirt is slid on and glued after the SRB wraps are glued in place.
Because the SRB skirts are slid on the T-20 tube from the bottom, the smaller end of the skirt is larger than it normally would be. With the smaller hole a bit wide, you can slip it over the T-20 tube easier. But for that reason, the fit at the top of the skirt shroud seems too loose.

I'm going a different route. I'm making the skirt top hole a little smaller and sliding it over from the top before the wrap is glued on.
3/4" of the low end of the T-20 tube had the seams filled.


The CR2050P rings top edge is sanded to the side angle of the shroud.

In the picture I'm not sanding the skirt shroud, I'm just checking the angle of the skirt and matching that with the flat side of my sanding block.

On the right is how the ring and skirt fit after sanding.
