ASP D Region Tomahawk Build, Part 2, Shock Cord & Engine Block

That craft stick is used to apply glue inside the body tube.

Mark the depth for the glue bead. Apply a drop of glue and rotate the stick end in the body tube.
It'll probably take a few applications to get a line of glue all the way around the inside.

The supplied yellow tube is used to push the engine block in.


For strength, both ends of the tube got a wipe of CA glue using a Q-tip.

After it dried, the glue was smoothed with some 400 grit.





The Kevlar is tied to the elastic like in the old Quest kits with a  simple overhand knot.

The loose ends were cut together clean with a wire cutter.
