Step 8
*MOD*
> This is my modded pen cap
> Using the lighter I melted a hole at the top of the cap and placed the ink in the cap
> Then I fused the ink to the cap and fused the end shut so ink wouldn't come out!
*UPDATE*
> The ink can be removed completely allowing the missile to go farther!
> Make sure there are no places for the air to leak in the rocket / missile as well or the pressure will escape and the result is a 4 foot launch!
