Rob,
Get a good spread of epoxy over the entire surface and you should be good.
Doubt that thing moves...

No experience with those retainers here, but I would personally reinforce it
with a coupler unless you're going for an altitude record. What's the peak
thrust on your motor? You could always test it's strength by putting it onto
concrete, placing a thick piece of wood over it, and getting two people to
stand on it (or weight a few buckets filled with rocks)

Question: I want to use the 98mm Aeropack Minimum Diameter retainer in the
sustainer of my 2 stage rocket. The directions state that the thrust ring
should be touching the aft flange of the airframe. I am going to have the motor
sticking out of the airframe to use as a coupler. Which puts all of the thrust
on the Aeropack. Is it going to hold up to an M motor? Should I reinforce it
with a coupler and some pins through the airframe? I thought that was what it
was for, but after reading the instructions (I occasionally do that) it looks
like it was not meant for that. Opinions? Thanks. Rob
