I can't use their white glue anymore, it's too thin and runs.<br />What did you tell me? About the nose cone?<br />Yep, I almost hate to tug on new kit shroud lines. I get tired of replacing them. I have seen shroud lines break at club launches .Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-23027582331614678872017-08-01T00:15:35.918-04:002017-08-01T00:15:35.918-04:00Hi BAR,

At .024" thick, it is nearly twice the thickness of a BT-50 at .013". Same i.d., slightly larger o.d.. Comes in various lengths, so you don't have to order the 34" BT-50H from BMS. Good Starship Nova replacement.BAR Geezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981340513882399606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-21535026421964948312017-07-30T10:28:24.057-04:002017-07-30T10:28:24.057-04:001.
