Merry Christmas, love the videos

[@paradiserocketry]

Not to mention trimming fiberglass is extremely satisfying

[@rockets4fun]

Thanks for the video and for posting the link for the Mylar. Been looking for it on Amazon. Merry Christmas.

Thank you for yet another great AND helpful video. Merry Christmas!!!

This is exactly the method I use. However I just learned something a little bit differently. I always cut the glass so it’s barely overlapping. I think I like your overlap much better

[@fierceflyer5]

Great technique looks fantastic. One suggestion, cut the ends and fin slots before the epoxy fully hardens, it’s easier and comes out smooth

Hey man, thanks for the content. Started watching recently and subscribed. Flying mid power on Puerto Rico. Still finishing a LOC Athena and a LOC Goblin 4". Also just ordered a 4" x 79" LOC iris which I hope to do as dual deploy, but that's a longer term project for the moment as I'll need at least an H or I to fly it. Hopefully getting L1 certified in the next few months. Rocketry is basically non existent here, no clubs, no sections. Will keep pushing forward though! Really enjoy your videos man kep'em coming!

Thanks for this, I was wondering how people got a smooth finish w/o vacuum bagging etc

[@AerospaceRocketry]

Hey buddy, Joe from Aerospace Rocketry. Stupid question, what type of rubber gloves you use to apply the mylar so you can run your hands to smooth the mylar and remove bubbles. Regular rubber gloves stick. I know dumb. LOL

[@triggert9012]

Great information for a future build. I just got in my Minie Magg for my level 1 cert, I asked you about adhesives earlier this week. Next question…airfoil the fins, or don’t bother? I’m going for low and slow. On an H motor do you think I’ll need additional nose weight?

[@kernelsmith]

Braden, that Dura-Lar link is busted for me

[@RocketVlogs]

Should be fixed!

[@jimyannuzzios7983]

Does the Mylar stay on ?

[@RocketVlogs]

Nope, you remove it

[@almostspace123]

No seams with sleeves! 😝

[@RocketVlogs]

I've got some coming for one of my bigger rockets, but with 6oz goass available at Home Depot this technique makes it possible for those on just about any budget to partake!

[@almostspace123]

@@RocketVlogs Agreed!

[@breakalegfpv9532]

what is the point to fiber glassing it?

[@RocketVlogs]

To make it stronger!
