Step 5The Nose Cone...
1. Take the nose cone and place it into the open end of the rocket body. Draw a line where it fits snug with the body. Trim the nose cone around this line. Lay the nose cone next to the body to see if they fit.
2. Next, take some paper towel or tissue and tear it up into little pieces. You are going to use this material to fill up the hollow space inside the cone. This is another important step because the solid nose cone adds a small amount of weight to the nose of the rocket and increases the survivability of the nose cone when the rocket comes down. These rockets do not have parachutes.
3. Use layers to fill up the cone. Pour some white glue into the cone and then stuff a small amount of paper in. (This is pretty messy) Push the wadding down with a finger. Then add the second layer by adding more glue and putting more paper into the cone. Press them down with your finger and continue until the cone is full. Set it aside and let it dry for 24 hours.
4. Last step. Glue the nose cone to the rocket body on the side that has been plugged up. (Very important - Glue it on the end you have plugged up!)
