Default MY Home Made Tools

Ok, to hold my rockets for painting I use old expelled rocket engines glued to dowel sticks they wont bend like rolled paper for those larger rockets.
3M makes a spray glue (Sold in craft stores, called photo tack I think) that you can spray on parts that gives it a tackiness but not enough to glue the part permanently so you can remove it to reset it (If you mess up) before gluing it permanently.
I also use sewing pins or stick pins to hold some pieces that I can hold down to body of rocket with clothespins. Hobby shops sell a “T” type that is great for this easier to push in.
