Clints ( that's my Bro's name) , Dude welcome to TMP, can't wait to see your work, so do use a venturi on your vac-stacks, or some other method to remove the air? Melt On!:chilling:

i don't vac stack either. there are a few others i know that don't either(fro, banjo)

[Titus Glass]

Damn, those guys do some sicky work without the vacstack ! I use just a plain ol shopvac with a rubber hose attachment down to the swivel. Does just fine for me. If any of you cats has a chance to take a class with J-Red, I highly recommend it. He's a true master. If you wanna do some vacstacks come on out. Plenty of room !

what do you guys do then, tube encase after striping?

[p.j.]

what do you guys do then, tube encase after striping?

i encased with rod 16mm

[Rosentech]

What up Redbone!!

Im in Olympia. You ever make it out this way?

[Titus Glass]

Actually I was just thinking about trying Olympia on for size. Ive been through there on the greyhound but never got to stay and hang out. Might have to get over that way....

[hashmasta-kut]

i encased with rod 16mm

i encase with tenmm rod. people tell me its time consuming though and that if one is going to do lots of linework its silly not to vacstack.

[p.j.]

to each their own, i can make 4 feet of 19mm line tubing in 45 min so it works for me.
