Semroc Saturn 1B, Build, OOP #KS-1, Part 29, Retro Rocket Housings




After the center contact line had dried, some glue was sneaked onto the angled top of the launch lug.

The ends were held in place until the glue set up.



A line of glue was applied down the knife blade. This was spread beside the launch lug side.

I used my sanding block to apply an even pressure along the side as the glue dried.

This was as good as the rocket housings came out.
The form isn't great and if the ends didn't overlap the others didn't touch or match up.







I tried to smooth out the sides by slipping a razor blade in, but the glue was already set.
