I was wondering what do you guys use to support your tubes to stay centered in the mold.
This what I do I use balsa. I got a lot from my modeling days. I take a large soft piece. take a pen tube sharpen the end push it into the balsa then just push the balsa out with a mandrel. Whala a perfect balsa dowel. Then I med. CA it in the tube. Then to support the ends I cut sheet balsa to fit the mold then use a tube to punch out a hole and CA the whole thing together. I seldom get a leak and it is usually easy to clean out.
Just wanted to share what I do and perhaps find a better way.
Tell us how you do it[^]
