    Default Makeing Tubes


    I have made a few jigs and now I am interested in making some tubes. I have some goo and a few molds from a playset as a kid and I think they will work, but I was wondering if there was any place I could buy some molds or other tube making supplies. I'm really just going to do this as a hobbie more than anything as I need some things to help me pass the time. Any help you guys could give me on this would be appreciated.




    Thanks alot

    Robert

    Tubes are made by dipping metal shafts into hot plastic like making candles.

    backtocrappie is right, i thought about doing this to, but figured that by the time i bought every thing, and spent my time trying to do it, it would be cheaper to just by them.

    Try doing a Google search on this, i found a how-to, on how to do it there. GGOD LUCK

    Default making tubes

    Ive never even dared to think about making crappie tubes, to much work.
    Delmart molds sells a bass size tube mold and. There is also a guy on ebay that sells bulk mizmo tubes in 1000ct packs for a decent price.
