[chbot] Robotics Group meeting, Monday 20 July 2020, 630pm, 5 Idris Road

[Trevor Wignall]

The fire cement is likely to flake off if it is applied to a metal with a
high temperature coefficient of expansion. The aluminium is also likely to
melt if the heat is applied for too long - unless you add cooling tubes. (I
believe most liquid fuelled rockets use the fuel for cooling the nozzles.)
