You sure can, thats the way I do it. I mount the tube on the mandrel, either cut the denim in thin strips or one piece that will circle the tube plus a little extra. I use med or thick CA to get started gluing. I turn slowly, by hand, applying the glue under the denim as I go. When its wrapped I soak it with thin CA, let dry and turn. Remember to wear breathing equipment or have a fan behind you blowing the fumes away and do not glue yourself to the blank. [:I] [B)] I have a couple in my album.
