TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 18, Nose Cone Weight


Two large washers are provided for nose weight. These are glued together.
On the left you can see a raised lip on the inside circle. I lightly filed down the raised edges for better flat glue contact.



The instructions recommend a "quality white glue" to glue them together. You would think epoxy, but I went with the directions.  Clothes pins held them as the glue dried.
Following the instructions: 
The screw eye was screwed in and removed.
The washers were glued to the base of the nose cone shoulder.
Glue was squirted into the hole and the screw eye replaced.
The 1/2" recess in the center got filled with white glue. Let dry thoroughly.
Be ready - that center pool of white glue takes a LONG time to dry.
