Visco Fuse Bottle Rockets

Step 3 Rolling the Engine

Start off by laying your 3 inch long piece of masking tape down on a smooth surface, sticky side up. Lay the long piece of Visco fuse 1/4 inch from the bottom followed by all six of the small pieces. Before you roll it up you can add some metal shavings or powder to color the tail of your rocket, but it's only optional. Start from the bottom and roll it up as tightly as you can. You want to get the long fuse in the middle surrounded by the six smaller fuses. Usually, you will have to reposition the longer fuse to get it just right. After you have it all rolled up, lay down your computer paper strip and cover it with your glue stick. Place your fuse package about 1/4 inch from the top. I use my crimping spacer to make sure I have enough room for the crimp; about 1/4 inch as well. Roll it all the way up and squirt a bit of hot glue on the top to seal it. You have to make sure you have no holes for the pressure to escape but also keeping in mind that you do not want too much glue, as it will weigh down your rocket.

I like this design. I reminds me of the traditional European method of skyrocket construction with the added advantage of using visco fuse as fuel. This makes the legality of possession of the fuel less problematic in the US.
