Found Dr. Rockets 38/29 Cleaning Closure

[DabCat]

Looking for a Dr. Rocket cleaning closure. Please send me a PM if you've got one collecting dust that you wouldn't mind offloading.

I hope you don't mind the discussion on your wanted thread, but what is the function of the cleaning closure? I tried searching, but the search hits are dominated by results for just the regular closures and how to clean cases, nothing I could find about the cleaning closure.

Wow. In my 25 years of flying reloads, I never heard of this cleaning product/method.

I would love to see one of these work.

I might be misunderstanding how these work, but couldn't you do the same thing with 2 plugged forward closures?

Yes. It's certainly an odd product in my view, but still a cool closure. I want one because I think it's cool, and I do plan to use it as intended for old times sake and to document it. It's not as efficient as my current cleaning method, but it's a fun idea. It's a novelty, and in my opinion, that's what makes rocketry fun.

I agree it's an interesting concept and a cool little tool. I hope you do find one. I'll be curious to see how it works.

Cleaning threads in motor cases is definitely a good idea after each flight.
I accomplish that with a tooth brush and some household cleaning products.

YMMV,

Definitely! Old toothbrush works great for the threads. But I don't think these have anything to do with cleaning the threads? They just seal the casing so you can shake lead shot and cleaner inside to break up carbon build-up.
