Q: What is the rcovery wading for

Use it to protect your parachute from melting when the hot ejection charge goes off to deploy the parachute.

Q: Amazon says they cannot ship to my address which is a typcal mid-western street address. Why will they ship me rocket engines and not the wadding?

I always have use good Ole TP. Just don't overdo it ,I have seen a few times that too much wadding was in the tube and it didn't allow for the parachute to deploy

Q: I got this stuff for the first time today. There were about 15 two-foot long sheets instead of 75. Is that normal? Are you supposed to cut it up?

yes, tear it up when you go to stuff it in your rocket, wad each piece to take up room and fill the rocket with 1 to 2 inches to protect the recovery device. If you look real close you will see it had cuts to tear off smaller sheets.

Reliable and essential for rocket launches

Always great to have on hand — this wadding is a must for safe and successful launches. Estes continues to be the best brand when it comes to rocket gear. This pack worked exactly as expected and helped protect all our rockets during launch.It’s flame retardant and does its job well — no damage to the rockets. The quantity was perfect for our co-op; we had enough to launch 40 rockets with no issues. Same price as our local hobby store, so it’s a good value for stocking up.Fun for the kids, and reassuring for the grown-ups knowing the rockets are protected.

It works and is convenient

You can make your own fireproof wadding, but this is immediately available. It's in a nice pack that tears into squares on perforated edges, like toilet paper.I use 4 or 5 sheets per rocket and have not had any significant blow through melting the parachutes or anything.

It is what it is... rocket wadding.

You know what this is and why you need it. It's a decent small pack for launching low powered rockets with recovery parachutes and streamers.
