[RocketsNW] Fins on a Minimum Diameter

[Julian Picard]

So along with blaming epoxy smells, burns, and mud on any future wife, dog,
or child I may have, it sounds like the best plan of attack from
a basic standpoint is to start by mixing in some type of fibrous material
with the epoxy in the fillets, and then change the forming process
as needed.

One more question, as far as traditional epoxy goes, I've heard that a few
materials won't adhere making them good for forming fillets, like plastic
wrap and wax paper. Should I worry about PVC adhering to epoxy? How about JB
Weld?

Thanks for all your help!

Also, to Jeff Moore, how did the flight go on your minimum 54"? The
wire/kevlar thread idea around the fin can sounds robust, and you didn't
have any problems with cracking around the holes you drilled?
