Dr. Zooch Saturn V F1 Engines Step 10 Part 3

The lower nozzle bell on the left shows the oval shape after the glue tab had dried.

The bell on the left is the rounder shape after reforming the shroud.
You should get the shrouds to a near perfect roundness before trying to glue together the upper and lower halves.


I had to change the upper gluing tab to better fit the lower half of the nozzle.

This pencil line made the gluing tab larger and the lower diameter of the upper half slightly smaller.



Flatten out the gluing surfaces of the shrouds on a sanding block with 400 grit sandpaper.

Don't worry about rough edges after sanding off the high spots.
The glue is applied, the thin edge will make it easier to "mold" the two glued
halves with a smoother seam.
