The kit supplied lead weight weighed .15 oz.
A standard Estes clay pat weighs almost .25 oz.
For better adhesion I'll use enough clay to weigh the equivalent .15 oz., maybe a bit more.
Like the centering ring on the engine mount, you'll have to widen the slits for the shock cord tie.
Two small drops of glue were set on either side of the shock cord.
The raised mold lines inside the nose cone didn't help the fit of the round shock cord tie disk.
On the left is the fit before trimming.
After trimming down the disk sides the fit is much better, shown on the right.
I used my favorite card stock to plastic glue, Beacon Fabri-Tac.
On the left, the clear Fabri-Tac a glue bead is set on the edge of the shock cord disk to make an internal fillet.
