I would love to see pic's, or an explination of the procedure to make one out of fiberglass. I have been reading a lot about making stuff out of fiberglass, for the most part you need a mold, or a structure underneath it. But for a tube, I have no idea how you will do it.
My only guess is to make a mold, but then how do you remove it from inside without destroying the part in the process?
We took a block of styrofoam, and sanded it to the shape we wanted. Next we're gonna wrap it with tape. coat the tape with car wax. Lay a coat of epoxy resin and fiberglass matte, then after that dries a couple more layers. Let it cure a day or 2, then pour gas in the styrofoam which will melt it, the pull out the tape. Wash with soap and water, then sand outside to look nice and paint it. Done
