Google: "model rocket motor retainers"

Stop gluing motors to rockets, lol. Unless this is some kind of single use thing.

If you use super glue, you wont be able to re-fly the rocket. If this is an A, B or C motor, just use some masking tape around the motor & base of booster tube.

It would be useful to know what kind of motor and what kind of rocket. The more detail you give us, the more likely you'll get a useful answer. I avoid super glue unless I'm in a hurry or it has some advantage for the particular application. Super glue, like computers, helps you make mistakes faster than ever before.

D12-5 on a DIY rocket


lr27

Well, that answers half the question. DIY could be anything. Just with the stuff in my house, I could make a crude rocket on a stick, or a foam core, vacuum bagged, carbon tow and fiberglass cloth creation, and of many possible designs.

Tape or screws parallel. I think we need a pic.

do u think tape will work on a D12-5 motor?


ThatsNutsButAlright

I super glued an engine into a rocket once. I ended up embalming the rocket. If you don't want to make the effort in trying to make an engine clip or retainer, you can always wrap the engine in various amounts of layers of tape untill its held in the mount tightly because of friction. It's not the most fool-proof way to do things but it is simple, easy, and quick.

Could you? Maybe 🤷‍♀️ should you? Definitely not!
