The hardest part about making the rocket was making the engine block. It was hard to build the engine block because you had to build the engine block and you had to build the interior diameter mold. The easiest part to build was the nose cone. The nose cone was the easiest part because we just had to pop on the nose cone. The most fun part about building the rocket is also the nose cone. We just popped on the nose cone. I'm looking forward to shooting off this rocket, I hope you can shoot it off too!

Double Gluing
Double gluing is a way of strengthening your fins. You want your fins to be strong so they don't break off when they land or especially when they are in the air. The first step of double gluing is to glue the fins and then you let them dry. Glue them a second time and let them dry again. When you are double gluing you have to smear the glue into the cracks of your fins so that they stays strong. Then you're ready to launch.
