So how'd you make the solid color tubing? Coil pot then sleeve?

**smolder holder** · 05-07-2011, 04:22 PM

Indie read back in the thread and I explain what I do to make my tube I think page 7 or 6.

**IndiePendent** · 05-07-2011, 05:25 PM

WHAT!?! How dare you make me search for stuff in this thread!! IM TAKING MY BALL AND GOING HOME!

No for real though I looked and didnt see it. Now granted I didnt look THAT hard, maybe 1-2 minutes tops, skimming through.

Oh yah and here is S.W.I.M.S. color test of that tube pull bite. It's Northstar white tubing w/ cap.

Edit: Eww that left termination is straight garbage....

Sorry I should have been clearer man....

Are you coilpotting then marvering smooth, then stiping down and marvering,and the sleeving, are you using a vac on the sleeve?

**smolder holder** · 05-07-2011, 09:24 PM

Just striping it onto 25x4 heating, smoothing and blowing till it will just fit into 50x5 then sleeve, heating and marvering down as I work my way down the tube.

Going to do my first vac tonight.

Yeah it is but my results are a very even wall thickness inside and out.

Just did my first vac stack turned out great but I wish I wouldn't have pulled it down qiute as far as I did.

Pic of one of the ends of my first vac. I twisted this up and into a pair of bowties lastnight, then fitted on to some discs, I'll post pics of the piece when finished.
