Re: [TCML] large secondary tubes ...

["Peter Terren" <pterren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got my 18 x 52 wound former made at a plastics place out of polypropylene 
3mm I think with 6mm flanges and ?15mm topload/motor supports. Cost $250, 
weighs aboput 9kg.
Lighter than PVC and has various trimmings. Only problem was that 
polypropylene is a bit slippery when winding.
