joining 2 bottles

Post by Swashy »

I have seen its possible, and read about many multi-bottle rockets, but how is this done?

I just cant see how to join bottles that can withstand the pressures.

Please can someone point me in the direction of a helpful (with pics) link

Thankyou
in advance

put the glue on 1 half and slide both halfs together. put glue around the connection and put a long vinyl patch over the glue then the sticky tape over that.

here's a pictue of everything including the rocket
