Estes LTV Scout, Build, Part 9, 2nd Stage Adapter Insulation


Some CA glue was run around the tube/adapter joints at the top and bottom. 

The inside tube seam got a good drip of wood glue smoothed out with a Q-tip.



After the glue dried,
The overhang was trimmed down and sanded even with the top and bottom of the plastic adapter.



The bottom lip of the adapter is still exposed to the ejection charge.

Some epoxy was mixed and rolled on with the Q-tip. When standing on end to dry - be ready, the epoxy will run. Keep an eye on it and wipe off any drips as it sets up.
