So I made tubes. Some are for sale on Ebay, others are being made for what I think might be a part of the Koenigsegg CCX. At least that would be awesome if they were for that car!!!

How did you make those CF tubes? With Dunstone shrink wrapping? :cool:

No sir. Some random plastic wrapping that were used on our old project of fiberglass antennas. It doesn’t shrink.
There is a machine that wraps the fiberglass around a mandrel (like a ciggarette wrapping machine), and then another that wraps the tape, at what I guess is high tension.
I just hand wrap…it hurts like HELL after 24 inches!!
My problem is, I STILL get resin leakage, and tape edge bridging!!! I wish I had a roll of 3" wide shrink tape.
