Estes Saturn V #1969 Build, Part 12, Nozzle Paint and Plate



To hold the nozzles for painting, I punched hole in cardboard with a pencil. The pins in the top were pressed into the pencil holes.
I also had to flip over and spray the nozzles from the top. There are lots of nooks and crannies to reach.


The paint on the top was scraped off for gluing.

For the plastic to card stock joint I used some Beacon Fabri-Tac around the pins.


The pins were pressed into the nozzle plate. The washers are pressed onto the pins. Bottled plastic cement was brushed over the top of the washers.

The fit of the spacer ring is a friction fit, tight against the outside washers.
A dot of wood glue was set on the inside of the washer edge, on the card stock.


The spacer ring was pressed into the glue dots.

A heavy glass was set into the spacer ring until the glue dots dried. Glue fillets were added to the inside joint.
