Vac Stack

[BoOTs]

Hello!
I am wanting to pull down my own tubing. Is it possible to do this on something smaller then 50m?
Thanks

I guess it depends on the torch you use and your skill level. But of course you can go smaller than 50mm.

Boots! Middle stack! Draw lines down 38hvy , melt in fully and pull down to fit inside a 38 hvy blank prepped to vac. Call if you got ?'s.

put some 16m in side some 38 or something and vac it...

[Pogo]

^I see that making capillary tubing… you actually do that hippi, or are you just theorizing?

[Prekillcrum]

Boots, how'd this work out for you?

[Julian]

Good question. Pogo and I were pondering vaccin' stacks with Boots and Co. at the Slingathon in Austin... word is we're going to give it a shot this weekend!

[Shonbal]

What torch are you using?

not capillary...just like a vac stack but smaller tubing... u put 25 in inside of 50 and line with color rods in between... i was gonna make some capillary tubing but i messed it up...gonna try again

The smooth and sleeve works nice or middle stack as pogo calls it works nice. You can do it on smaller tubing but anything less than 38 and the amount of lines starts to go down.

is it better than striping with tenmm? i am interested to give it a try if there is some benefit.

Its faster and once you got your sleeves down you can just start upping the size and get large.

On the other hand on lots of my dichro I got a great track record with the role up on blue or black with 1/4 thick dichro and 2 layers of 10 mill.

so I say its really preference.

I've done 16 inside 38x4 and 19 inside 44x4, it all works great, and if you want more lines you can still put stringers between the rods. Its all about how many lines you want and how much you want to make at a time. I use a Phantom and 25x4 inside 50x5 is my favorite, would like to try a larger size one of these days ( when I get around to getting a bigger tip for the hand torch)
