Tubes for Gatsby

[mikeschn]

Does anyone know where I can get some tubes for a Gatsby? I ruined a tube... should have painted it... The pink blank was so translucent that one can see right through it. I threw that one away. Now I need a tube so I don't waste the pen kit...

Well, I would have just turned off the offensive blank (yes, I've done it more often then I'd like to admit) and cleaned up the tube.

Since PSI sells the Gatsby, I would check them out.

I believe the Gatsby uses the same tube as the Sierra (Berea kit, from many suppliers), and the same tube as the Mesa (from Woodturningz.com)

It is 0.41 inch diameter and 2.21 inch long for the twist version; about 0.2 inch longer for the click version.

Like Michael said, I would have turned the blank off the tube. I've done it many times. But if you need to buy tubes, PSI has them.

Ah perfect thanks!

BTW, I dug the old one out of the garbage. I'll try turning off the material!

It's easy to do. Don't ask me how I know.

Inquiring minds, you know.:biggrin:
