Phill: Thank you for the information.
I asked becouse I'm about to make a set of carbon rudder stocks for an old, tired, Tornado this summer.
I tought that the seam in the bag used needed to be able to withstand a lot of pressure. But I realise now that the tube takes the pressure and not the seam (if the bag is big enough). How did you get rid of any excess epoxy, as I could not see any bleeder cloth ?
As for other kind of tubes, I guess the same could be done for a spinnaker pole of 40mm diameter if the right cloth could be found. But now we are probably a bit on the side where engineering needs to be applied.
It seems like you have a lot of knowlegde (like other persons frequenting this site), and it is just fantastic to be able to tap into it now and again!
Best regards
Rolf
