"Now what we're going to do is we've cut out our four pins. What we'll do with the four pins is we're going to mount them to the body tube in the positions that we previously marked with the template for the fins and the launch leg. The way to do that is simply take glue, I always do the work on the body tube side, and I apply a ribbon of glue on the body tube like this, and then gently mount the fin between the two lines, and I'm using super glue so I have to be careful with this. Keep the fin pretty straight like that, and hold the fin until, in this case, the super glue dries. Now if you want to you can also apply a piece of tape on the fin to keep it in place if you're using a slower drying glue. And there you have a fin mounted."
