I've heard that Aileen's glue was G. Harry Stine's favorite for rocket building. The instructions state: "White glue will cause the paper shroud to wrinkle."
I could only find Aileen's Super Thick Tacky Glue. It worked fine without any wrinkles.
Here I'm applying a fillet on the rear bulkhead joint with a rounded dowel and a Q-Tip to pick up any excess.
The bulkhead is recessed too far in to smooth the fillet with a fingertip.
This is the nose cone fit as best I could get it.
You can see the soft molded corner at the nose cone base starting to flare out.
A glove kept the paint off my hand while the primer filler was sprayed.
I aimed directly at the edge and no primer got on the flat surfaces.
The inset picture shows the launch lug ready for primer.
Two toothpicks gave me a short handle to hold while spraying.
