Stan,

Never...ever do I seal the end of a tube.  They remain hollow through and 
through!!  Basically, it is saw it off...Wipe it down with some suitable 
carcinogenic agent and wind away.  After I finish, I go to the computer 
and figure out how much wire I put on and about how many turns there are. 
 I use a very old but very suitable program called Tesla 551 to figure 
out what the inducatnce and res freq. should be. (again, only after the 
tube is wound up)  Finally I ring the thing out with all the test gear 
and find out what it really is to within a few percent.  On a stockish 
winding the program comes out to within 10%, usually.
