BEFORE STARTING ANY ASSEMBLY READ THROUGH ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS BEST TO TEST FIT
ALL PARTS BEFORE APPLYING ANY GLUE. READ AND FOLLOW THE N.A.R. MODEL ROCKET SAFETY CODE.
Information about Foam Parts, Paint and Fillers
Many brands of Spray Paint are not "Foam Safe" and may melt the foam. ALWAYS test
the brand you intend to use FIRST before spraying the entire Foam part. We recommend
testing your paint on the base of the Large Foam Capsule before starting assembly (it
will get covered up by the Orange Shoulder and Cap Ring in STEP 13.) Most brands of
"Acrylic" or water based paint will not harm the Foam.
Only use water based fillers such as Elmer's Carpenters Wood Filler
on your Foam Parts. Elmer's Carpenters Wood Filler is a thick paste,
so we recommend thinning it with about 50% water to 50% paste.
