And next time, use 30 minute epoxy, at least for fillets. I've seen folks bring their rockets to launches where the temperature is high. They bring their rockets out of the car where they have been lying on their sides in the heat, and all of their fins are out of line; they had used aliphatic glue (yellow) or something akin to Elmer's.
Not a huge problem when using epoxy, at least for me. The tiny bit of extra weight is well worth it to me.
