Aero Gloss dope is HIGHLY useful.

Environmental Whackos are about as useful as taking a bowling ball into the woods while deer hunting.
Dead weight that serves no useful purpose other than to irritate those that have to deal with it.

OK, maybe bowling balls are useless for bagging deer, but you haven't really hunted until you spent a warm summer night in the woods during your youth using a 16 lb. Brunswick to try to nail your quota of snipe...

How many environmental wackos does it take to shingle a roof?

Depends on how thin you slice them!

Badabum!

Geez, you guys - it must be tough to have your lives ruined by having clean air to breathe and clean water to drink...

If I wanted to debate politics, I would be reading posts on a politics forum right now. Since I'm finding so many political posts here (and at TRF), maybe I'll dump YORF and instead head over to one of the politics forums to talk about rockets.

Mark,

Sorry, this message shouldn't have devolved like this since it's in the Building Techniques area vs the FreeForAll section.

Everyone, please keep political rants to the FreeForAll section. That makes it easier for people that don't want to read that stuff to skip over it. Thanks for your understanding.

(Back on topic)

I cleaned out a nearby Sears of all it's 'old' inventory of Krylon Gloss White paint (Picked up a few other colors, too).

The Krylon was "Buy one can, get the second can 1/2 price" special.

Yeah!


Bob

Default Krylon ... so now what

Looks like this thread was originated many moons ago. So ... Krylon is now Crylon ...

What do you now - since the better and older Krylon is no longer available.

Also, what is the best way to paint the rocket and make it come out looking the best?

How many coats of primer do you use? How many of the final color?

One thing I noticed on my son's rockets were the lines on the tube ... how do you get those covered or at least where you don't notice them?



Thanks
ez
