"BTW, what he says about hot glue is good, but he doesn't mention why we in the rocketry hobby avoid it like the plague. A friendly word of advice to teachers instructing kids in a rocketry unit...hot glue is a crafter's glue. You can't get away with using it to attach rocket fins to the body tube. The heat from the motor will cause a hot glue joint to soften and fail. Fins will fall off, every time."
This was hilarious. I would love to see this fellow's treatment of a rocket build that requires building balsa parts and applying a finish!
