Model Rocket Recovery Wadding

Estes recovery wadding looks and feels like Toilet paper. It protects the parachute etc. from the hot ejection gases produced by an ejection charge. In my experience, this is often too thin, and quite a bit must be used to get a good result. I would recommend Quest Recovery wadding which is is pre-cut into about 6 squares (a good size for most rockets) and is thicker, and crumples better to fill a body tube. It is much better in my opinion.

good for small rockets, and i suppose for larger too but you need alot of it. i always keep some handy.

It gets the job done but I wouldn't say it is the best wadding around. It is a pain to put it in the rocket but it does work I launched my rocket 2 times with this.
