multi-bottle rockets
this is my multi-bottle rocket i made from 2 halfs from a 2L bottle and a 2.25L bottle (can use a 2L bottle but a 2.25L bottle is better), some vinyl swimming pool patch kit and some strong tape.
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

Re: multi-bottle rockets
Have you tried making a sleeve out of a larger diameter bottle and using a heat gun to shrink it down over the joint? A lot of us have had good luck gluing the bottles together and then gluing a sleeve over the whole thing.Brian wrote:this is my multi-bottle rocket i made from 2 halfs from a 2L bottle and a 2.25L bottle (can use a 2L bottle but a 2.25L bottle is better), some vinyl swimming pool patch kit and some strong tape.

PL premium is a glue in a family called "Polyurethane Glue". There shoule be something similar to it everywhere because it is common. Elmers makes several types and there's also a glue called Gorilla Glue that is similar. These come in a liquid that flows like honey where PL is more like a paste, but they are similar chemically.Brian wrote:ive been testing new ways attaching bottles together but there not working. i cant find PL Premium the best glue ive got is pool vinyl pool patch kit adhesive. are there any better glues or good ways to make it?

Hi brian,
It looks nice, but will it be strong enough. how much pressure can it hold?
I am working on a splice to:
http://www.freewebs.com/waterraket/7%20 ... 0raket.JPG
On that picture i havn't glued the last bottle but its on now. And i pressure tested it up to 170 psi.
I atached some balsa wings on it. Now i am waiting on my perfectflyte alt 15 K. And then i am going to launch it! I cant wait
Good luck!

here in italy (and in the europe i think) there is a polyurethane glue called Bisonite by Bison.. bison makes also a lot of other kids of glue and so on..Mark Chen wrote: PL premium is a glue in a family called "Polyurethane Glue".

Bisonite is a two part glue: resin and "hardener" (i don't remember the exact word)
