Launch It: Patriot Model Rocket

Step 6 Body Tube

To make the body tube, lay the rest of the posterboard down and pre-roll it with the 3/4 inch dowel. Once you have it pre-rolled, place the dowel in the middle and roll it one time over. Then while holding it, apply glue or spray glue to the rest of the posterboard. After it is coated, roll it tightly the rest of the way up. To keep it from slipping after it is rolled, place some tape on the seem and then set aside to dry.
