The nose cone and body tube joint were already filled with CWF.
The nose cone is rounded and blunt for a good reason, the rocket lands nose first.
The nose cone was toughened up with a coat of medium CA.
After it dried it was smoothed over with 400 grit.
In an optional step you can trim the launch lug ends. The instructions say: "Trim if desired"
The angle cuts on the instructions were extended with a pencil line.
The lug was set over the instructions and the cuts made with a new razor blade. Try not to crush the lug when cutting the end angles.
Sand the cut ends with 400 grit on a block.
When you sand a lug ends the outside Mylar skin will roll over.
Pick it out of the lug with a toothpick and sand it off.
