Set some glue on the knife blade and work it into the split cardstock.
Pinch the split together with tweezers until the glue sets.
You can use the tweezers to reform and get rid of any crease lines.
The parachute assembly is standard.
A longer elastic shock cord was substituted for the short rubber cord.
The tri-fold shock cord mount was glued 1 1/2" below the top of the tube, 1/2" farther down than the instructions recommended.
I was worried about the age of the decals so I gave them a coat of decal film.
The decal film goes on with visible brush strokes but is smooth after it dries.
This time around, the decal film didn't help at all.
The first decal easily broke up! Why bother with the rest of them, this wasn't a good sign.
So for now, I've got a black rocket.
