Estes V2 Build Part 8 Body Tube Seam Fill



After sanding down the CWF in the wide body tube seam, some medium CA glue was applied over the filled seam.

In this instance, the CA would lock the filler in the seam and strengthen the tube a bit. I am concerned about the strength of this tube.




Here's how the tube looked after sanding the CA glue smooth.

Between the wide seams you can also see the sanded CWF in the narrow (normal) seams.




I'm also concerned about the Kraft paper winds on the inside of the tube.
You can see how wide apart they are.

I may have to come up with a way to strengthen the inside.
